Wilton 14873 Prism Jaw Cap 5.5 Inches Jaw Width

Product Description

The WILTON 14873 is a Prism Jaw Cap designed to protect workpieces held in Wilton P-5.5 vises. The cap fits over the vise jaw to cushion and grip parts without marring finished surfaces or damaging delicate components. At 5.5 inches jaw width, it matches the jaw profile of the corresponding vise model precisely. Machinists, fabricators, and trade professionals install these caps when working with finished metal, soft alloys, or components that standard steel jaws would score or deform. The cap provides a non-damaging contact surface while maintaining secure workholding during machining, assembly, or repair operations.

This jaw cap is suited for bench vise applications in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and trade service environments. It is a direct replacement or spare accessory for Wilton P-5.5 vises and is sold individually. Typical use cases include metalworking operations where surface finish preservation is required, as well as general-purpose clamping of finished or coated parts.

Key Features

• 5.5 inch jaw width matches Wilton P-5.5 vise jaw profile
• Protects workpiece surfaces from marring during clamping
• Sold individually for single-jaw or paired replacement
• Lightweight at 1 pound for easy handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement jaw cap for the Wilton P-5.5 vise model with a 5.5 inch jaw width.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools — the cap seats directly onto the existing vise jaw. Ensure the vise is in the open position before fitting or removing jaw caps. Inspect the cap for wear or cracking before each use, and replace if the cap no longer seats flush against the jaw face.
