Wilton 1780A 8 in. Tradesman Bench Vise, 6-3/4 in. Max Opening, 360-Degree Swivel Base

The Wilton 1780A is the 8 in. model in the Tradesman bench vise line, made of ductile iron and mounted on a 360-degree swivel base. Its jaws open to 6-3/4 in. over a 4-3/4 in. throat, so tall and oversized stock fits between them.

Built-in pipe jaws hold pipe from 1/8 in. to 3-1/2 in., and the vise bolts down through 4 mounting points. It weighs 95 lb. net and ships at 111 lb.

Replaceable, Reversible Jaw Inserts

The jaw inserts are serrated on one side for grip and smooth on the other for softer parts that shouldn't be marked, and they can be replaced as they wear.

Enclosed Slide Bar

The slide bar is enclosed to keep dust and debris off the lead screw in a dirty shop.
