Wilton 14840 Rubber Face Jaw Cap 4 Inch

Product Description

The WILTON 14840 is a rubber face jaw cap designed to protect workpieces from damage during vise clamping operations. The cap fits over the jaw face of a compatible vise, providing a non-marring surface that absorbs clamping force without scratching, denting, or deforming the material being held. With a 4-inch jaw width, this cap is sized for mid-range bench vises commonly found in trade shops, fabrication facilities, and job sites. Machinists, pipefitters, and general tradespeople use jaw caps like this to switch quickly between hard-jaw and soft-jaw setups without swapping out vise components.

This jaw cap is suited for bench vise applications where protecting finished surfaces, soft metals, plastics, or coated materials is a priority. Typical install scenarios include machine shops, plumbing shops, HVAC fabrication benches, and electrical trade workspaces. The rubber face absorbs vibration and grip-slip forces that a bare steel jaw face would otherwise transfer directly to the workpiece. It is sold as a single unit and is a straightforward replacement or spare for worn or degraded jaw cap sets.

Key Features

• Rubber face construction provides a non-marring contact surface for workpiece protection
• 4-inch jaw width fits mid-range bench vises common in trade and shop environments
• Absorbs clamping force to reduce surface damage on finished or delicate materials
• Lightweight at 0.2 pounds for easy handling and quick swapping between jobs
• Sold individually, allowing replacement of a single cap without purchasing a full set

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement rubber face jaw cap for bench vises with a 4-inch jaw width. Verify jaw width and cap retention method against the existing vise before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation of jaw caps requires no special tools and is performed by the vise operator or shop technician. Ensure the vise is in the open position before seating the cap over the jaw face. Confirm the cap is fully seated and secure before applying clamping pressure to avoid slippage during use. Inspect the rubber face periodically for wear, cuts, or hardening that would reduce its protective effectiveness.
