Wilton 11743 Low Profile Drill Press Vise 3 Inch

Product Description

The WILTON 11743 is a low-profile drill press vise designed to secure workpieces firmly during drilling operations. Its reduced-height body keeps the work close to the drill press table, improving stability and minimizing flex during bit contact. The 3-inch jaw width accommodates a range of small-to-medium workpieces common in trade and shop applications. This vise is intended for use on drill press tables in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and job-site setups where controlled, repeatable drilling is required. Licensed tradespeople and skilled machinists typically rely on this style of vise to prevent workpiece movement and reduce the risk of bit grab or drift.

The WILTON 11743 is suited for benchtop and floor-model drill presses in light industrial and professional shop environments. The low-profile design is particularly useful when vertical clearance between the chuck and table is limited or when drilling small-diameter stock that requires a stable, low-center-of-gravity hold. It is a common fixture in HVAC fab shops, plumbing shops, and general maintenance bays where precise hole placement matters.

Key Features

• 3-inch jaw width handles a variety of small-to-medium workpieces
• Low-profile body reduces workpiece height above the table for improved drilling stability
• Designed for stationary drill press table mounting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade vise for use with standard benchtop and floor-model drill presses that accept bolt-down accessory vises on their work tables.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or skilled tradesperson. Before mounting, ensure the drill press is powered off and unplugged. Secure the vise to the drill press table using appropriate T-bolts or clamps rated for the table slot dimensions. Verify the vise jaw is aligned square to the drill bit axis before tightening fasteners fully to ensure accurate hole placement.
