Vertex VP-180 Tilting Clamping Table – 45° swivel, 132×185 mm work surface

The VP-180 tilting clamping table is a compact workholding device designed for precise angular positioning in milling, drilling and inspection tasks.

• Swivels 45° for angular clamping
• Compact table 132×185 mm
• FC25 cast iron body for stability
• Max load 6 kg for small workpieces

Stable base for repeatable precision

The VP-180 is built from FC25 cast iron, a material chosen for its excellent damping and dimensional stability. This construction reduces vibration during machining, which in turn preserves tool life and improves surface finish. The 132×185 mm top provides a defined clamping area that is easy to align on small milling machines or inspection benches; the low centre of gravity, ensured by a weight of 7.38 kg, keeps the unit secure under load. For users unfamiliar with material grades, FC25 refers to a grey cast iron grade commonly used in machine components where stiffness and vibration absorption are required.

Faster setups with accurate angular clamping

A 45° swivel capability allows angled operations to be completed without repeated repositioning of the workpiece, saving time and reducing cumulative alignment errors. The tilting mechanism is engineered for stable indexing so that once an angle is set it remains fixed under machining forces. With a max load of 6 kg, the device is suited to smaller components and precision fixtures where control and repeatability matter more than raw clamping capacity. The workholding concept reduces auxiliary operations and supports more efficient batch processing for small to medium series.

Compact, easy to integrate into existing workflows

At a height of 95 mm, the unit integrates smoothly into many machine set-ups and measuring stations without raising the centre of operation excessively. The compact footprint and predictable mounting interfaces simplify fixturing and allow the table to be combined with modular clamps or vices. Routine maintenance is straightforward: surfaces should be kept clean and light lubrication applied to the swivel joint to maintain smooth indexing. The design supports quick adoption in workshops seeking a reliable, cost-effective solution for angled clamping and inspection.
