Specifications

What our Experts Think

• Ultimate Multidirectional Machining: The WILTON 6″ 3‑Axis Precision Tilting Vise – WL9‑11804 is engineered for true 3‑direction work — combining 90° vertical indexing, 180° horizontal indexing, a 360° swivel base, and a ±45° tilting range for complex machining setups.

• Precision‑Built & Accurate: Constructed from close‑grained, high‑tensile alloy castings with hardened and ground jaw plates (≈ 55 ± 3 HRC) and precisely ground surfaces, so you get consistent accuracy and firm workholding under load.

• Smooth, Flexible Positioning: The 360° swivel base with keyways and bolt slots lets you orient and lock workpieces easily, reducing setup time and improving workflow on milling, drilling, grinding, shaping, or jig‑boring tasks.

• Ergonomic & Durable: All‑steel handles with spring‑loaded ball attachments offer comfortable, controlled adjustments, while the durable polychromatic finish holds up in tough shop environments.

• Generous Capacity: With a 6″ jaw width, up to 6″ opening, and 1‑3/4″ jaw depth plus heavy weight (~119 lbs), this vise handles larger workpieces with confidence.

• Built‑In Versatility: Experts recommend it for precision machining where repeatable accuracy and multi‑axis flexibility matter most — ideal for milling machines, drill presses, and advanced fabrication setups.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean jaws, slides, and tilting surfaces after each use to remove debris.

• Lightly lubricate lead screws and tilt/rotate mechanisms for smooth operation.

• Keep all surfaces dry to prevent rust and maintain precision.

• Avoid excessive clamping force to protect alignment and accuracy.

• Store in a dry area; apply light rust protection if unused for extended periods.
