3" Cross Slide Vise Table for Milling and Drilling

Secure, Accurate Workholding for Milling and Drilling

This 3" Cross Slide Vise Table is engineered to provide stable, precise workholding for light milling, drilling, and layout tasks. Constructed from a durable aluminum alloy body, it combines a compact footprint with reliable rigidity, making it suitable for benchtop drill presses, small mills, and workshop setups where accuracy and repeatability matter.

The integrated cross slide design allows controlled movement along both the X and Y axes, enabling you to position your workpiece without repeatedly unclamping. With 80 mm of X-axis travel and 67 mm of Y-axis travel, you can make fine adjustments directly from the handwheels. The 3" (approx. 75 mm) jaw capacity securely holds small to medium workpieces, while the included jaw pads help protect finished surfaces during clamping.

Why It's a Smart Choice

• Precise Two-Axis Positioning - X-axis travel of 80 mm and Y-axis travel of 67 mm allow accurate alignment for drilling patterns, slots, and light milling operations.
• Stable Benchtop Mounting - A 105 mm base hole distance provides straightforward mounting to most workbenches or drill press tables for consistent, repeatable setups.
• Compact, Workshop-Friendly Design - Overall size of 155 x 230 x 130 mm and a weight of approximately 2.7 kg make it easy to integrate into small shops, hobby workstations, or portable rigs.

FAQ

Q: What type of machines is this vise suitable for?
A: It is ideal for benchtop drill presses and small milling machines where light to moderate cutting forces are used and precise positioning is required.

Q: Can it handle steel workpieces?
A: Yes, it can clamp steel, aluminum, plastics, and other common materials, provided the cutting loads are appropriate for a small cross slide vise and the machine setup is rigid.

Q: How is the vise mounted to the bench or table?
A: The base features mounting holes with a 105 mm hole distance. Use the supplied mounting screws or suitable hardware to fasten it securely to a flat, rigid surface.

Q: Is this vise intended for heavy industrial milling?
A: No. It is designed for light milling, drilling, and precision positioning tasks. For heavy-duty industrial milling, a larger cast-iron vise and table system is recommended.
