Wilton 14830 Aluminum Jaw Cap 5 Inch

Product Description

The WILTON 14830 is an aluminum jaw cap designed to protect workpieces during vise operations. It fits over the jaws of a compatible bench vise to provide a soft, non-marring clamping surface. Fabricated from aluminum, this jaw cap absorbs clamping force without scratching, denting, or otherwise damaging finished metal, wood, or coated surfaces. The cap covers a 5-inch jaw width and is sold individually. Machinists, fabricators, and general tradespeople keep these on hand to switch quickly between hard-jaw and soft-jaw setups without retooling the vise itself.

This jaw cap is suited for use in machine shops, fabrication shops, and general trade bench work where workpiece protection is a routine requirement. It is appropriate for applications involving finished stock, soft metals, or any part that would be marred by direct steel-jaw contact. The lightweight aluminum construction keeps added mass on the vise head to a minimum while still providing adequate surface protection for most clamping tasks.

Key Features

• Aluminum construction provides a soft, non-marring clamping surface
• Covers a 5-inch jaw width for a secure, full-face fit
• Lightweight at 0.35 pounds, adding minimal mass to the vise assembly
• Sold individually, allowing single-jaw or paired replacement as needed
• Protects finished, coated, and soft-metal workpieces from jaw damage

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or accessory jaw cap for bench vises with a 5-inch jaw width. Verify jaw width and jaw face profile on the target vise before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools. Ensure the vise jaws are clean and free of debris before seating the cap to achieve a flush, stable fit. No power source or lockout procedure is required for this mechanical accessory. Confirm the cap is fully seated before applying clamping force to prevent shifting during use.
