Wilton 1280N 8 in. Verti-Lock Machine Vise, 7-1/2 in. Max Opening, 2-1/4 in. Jaw Depth

The Wilton 1280N is the largest Verti-Lock machine vise, with 8 in. jaws that open to 7-1/2 in. for oversized machining stock. It has a ductile alloy body and a flame-hardened bed.

Jaw depth is 2-1/4 in., it sits on a stationary base with 2 mounting points, and it weighs 164 lb. An 8S swivel base for angle work is sold separately.

High-Ratio Spindle

The high-ratio spindle builds clamping force in fewer handle turns, and the spindle itself is alloy steel, hardened and precision-ground.

Enclosed Spindle

A heavy-duty enclosure keeps chips off the spindle and internal parts during large-part and production milling.
