Specifications

What our Experts Think

• True 3‑Axis Precision Machining: The WILTON 5″ 3‑Axis Precision Tilting Vise – WL9‑11803 delivers full 3‑direction positioning with 90° vertical indexing, 180° horizontal indexing, 360° swivel base, and a 90° tilting range — ideal for complex angled work that standard vises can’t handle.

• Engineered for Accuracy: Close‑grained, high‑tensile alloy castings with hardened and ground jaw plates maintain tight tolerances and superior clamping stability during milling, drilling, grinding, shaping, and jig boring.

• Comfortable & Durable Design: Ergonomically designed all‑steel handles with spring‑loaded ball attachments provide smooth, controlled adjustments, while a durable polychromatic finish resists wear in demanding shop conditions.

• Generous Workholding Capacity: With a 5″ jaw width, up to 5″ opening, and 1‑3/4″ throat depth, this vise handles a broad range of workpieces without sacrificing precision.

• Machine‑Mount Ready: Base keyways and bolt slots make it simple to secure the vise to milling machines, drill presses, or workbenches for stable, repeatable setups.

• Versatile for Complex Tasks: Experts recommend this model for machinists focused on repeatable angular precision and versatile workholding in professional environments where accuracy and flexibility are paramount.
