Proudly made in the USA, the Machinist vise is designed to handle the most demanding clamping applications. Unlike most vises that have a fixed center nut the Machinist round channel vise nut is anchored at the rear to provide straight line pull and even pressure resulting in greater durability. The round channel design also allows for a completely enclosed spindle and nut assembly which keeps debris out and lubrication in for a lifetime of smooth operation. The Machinist vise is equipped with main jaws and a machined anvil work surface.
