Models SCD430 and SCD640

Self-centering vises from Kurt Manufacturing Co., Industrial Products Div., improve machining center productivity by positioning and clamping workpieces precisely and quickly on a defined symmetrical axis. Available in two sizes, these self-centering vises can be used in any mounting position and provide a large clamping range for odd-sized workpieces. For maximum productivity, they quickly and easily align in a series on a machine worktable. Centering accuracy for these vises from minimum to maximum opening is 0.0006 inch with 0.0002 inch repeatability. Both moveable jaws are designed with the Anglock. This is the unique pull-type jaw clamping design that minimizes jaw deflection, according to the company. Kurt self-centering vises feature durable 80,000-psi ductile iron bodies with precision machined steel components. This is important to machinists who want rugged strength, extra part holding rigidity, and long-term accuracy while absorbing machining vibration. Additional features include: hardened jaws, hardened bed ways, chip guards, lip seals on the main screw, and optional InnerLock; jaw plates to further minimize setup time. The two self-centering Vise models are: a 4-inch jaw width (Model SCD430) and a 6-inch jaw width (Model SCD640). Jaw opening on the 4-inch model is 6.25 inches and 8.00 inches on the 6-inch model.
