Wilton 63301 Shop Vise 5 Inch Jaw 3 Inch Throat

Product Description

The WILTON 63301 is a bench-mounted shop vise designed for general fabrication, metalworking, and maintenance tasks in professional shop environments. With a 5-inch jaw width and 5-inch jaw opening, it accommodates a wide range of workpiece sizes. The 3-inch throat depth provides clearance for irregularly shaped stock. At 30 pounds, this is a substantial cast vise built for fixed-bench mounting where holding force and rigidity are priorities. It is installed and used by machinists, pipefitters, welders, and general maintenance trades in commercial and industrial shop settings.

The WILTON 63301 is suited for stationary workbench installation in shops handling pipe, bar stock, sheet metal, and general hardware assembly. Its jaw geometry supports secure clamping of both round and flat workpieces. This vise is appropriate for trade apprentice programs, maintenance shops, and production environments where a reliable bench vise is a daily-use tool.

Key Features

• 5-inch jaw width for broad clamping surface on flat and irregular stock

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by securing the vise base to a solid workbench using appropriately sized bolts through the mounting holes — ensure the bench surface can support the combined load of the vise and workpiece. Secure all fasteners before applying clamping force. Inspect mounting hardware periodically for loosening due to vibration. No special trade license is required for bench vise installation, though proper bench construction practices apply.
