Value Collection 428-8405 Horizontal Drill Press Vise

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 428-8405 is a horizontal drill press vise designed for securing workpieces during drilling operations on a drill press. It features a cast iron construction with a stationary base and a standard-speed spindle, making it a reliable fixture for machine shop, maintenance, and light fabrication environments. The jaw opens to 4.625 inches with a throat depth of 1 inch, accommodating a range of workpiece sizes. At 10 pounds, the vise provides solid mass to resist movement during operation. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and toolroom professionals install this type of vise directly to drill press tables for repeatable, accurate work holding.

This vise is suited for use on bench-top and floor-standing drill presses in residential shops, industrial maintenance settings, and light production environments. The horizontal orientation and stationary base configuration make it appropriate for standard vertical drilling applications where the workpiece is held flat and the vise does not require swivel or tilt adjustment. The 5-inch-wide jaw face distributes clamping force across the workpiece, reducing the risk of marking or shifting during the drill cycle.

Key Features

• 4.625-inch jaw opening capacity accommodates a wide range of workpiece widths
• 1-inch throat depth suitable for standard flat and block workpieces
• 5-inch-wide by 0.98-inch-high jaw face for broad clamping contact
• Cast iron body provides rigidity and vibration damping during drilling
• Stationary base keeps the vise fixed to the drill press table without swivel
• Overall footprint of 9.65 inches long by 2.33 inches high fits standard drill press tables
• 8.75-inch base length for stable T-slot or bolt-down mounting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit accessory for standard drill press tables that accept bolt-down or T-slot mounted vises with a stationary base configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or maintenance technician. Power down and lock out the drill press before mounting or repositioning the vise on the table. Secure the vise to the table using appropriate T-slot bolts or clamps rated for the table slot dimensions before beginning any drilling operation. Do not exceed the jaw opening capacity of the vise when clamping workpieces.
