Value Collection MVA/8 Machine Vise 8 Inch Jaw Width

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MVA/8 is a manual machine vise designed for horizontal workholding on mill tables, drill presses, and similar metalworking equipment. With an 8-inch jaw width and a maximum jaw opening capacity of 8 inches, it handles a wide range of workpiece sizes in a single station setup. The stationary base keeps the vise fixed in place during operation, providing repeatable positioning without the need for swivel adjustment. At 35 pounds, this is a solid, full-size shop vise suited for use by machinists and tool-and-die technicians in production and maintenance environments.

This vise is intended for horizontal orientation on stationary machine tool setups. The 2-3/4 inch jaw height and 3-3/16 inch throat depth accommodate typical stock and workpiece profiles encountered in general machining, fixture work, and part-holding applications. The manual operation makes it straightforward to use without pneumatic or hydraulic infrastructure. It is well-suited for single-station setups where a fixed, non-rotating base is preferred for consistent part alignment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or toolroom technician. Before mounting, ensure the machine table is powered down and the spindle is at rest. Secure the vise to the T-slot table using appropriate T-bolts and strap clamps rated for the table size. Verify jaw alignment with a dial indicator before tightening the mounting hardware to final position.
