Hard L-jaws for VQC vises by Vertex — hardened replacement jaws, compact 159.5 x 86 x 50 mm

Hard L-jaws for VQC vises are hardened replacement jaws designed to deliver reliable clamping for machining and workshop applications with VQC vises

• Hardened design for durable clamping
• Precision-machined fit for VQC vises
• Compact dimensions: 159.5 x 86 x 50 mm
• Weight approx. 3.86 kg for robust handling

Consistent clamping through hardened construction

The hardened jaw geometry provides a wear-resistant contact surface that preserves jaw profile under repeated load, supporting consistent clamping force and longer service intervals. Designed as a direct replacement for VQC vises, the component reduces the need for frequent regrinding and maintains part accuracy across batches. The combination of a wear-hardened face and a stable seating interface translates into fewer interruptions for maintenance and a lower total cost of ownership in production environments.

Precision fit reduces setup time and runout

A precision-machined seating and contact area ensure accurate alignment with the VQC vise body, which helps to minimise runout and misclamping during milling or drilling operations. The close fit between jaw and vise body improves repeatability when reattaching the jaws, enabling faster set-ups and more reliable tolerances. This precise interface is particularly valuable in small-batch production or prototyping where every clamping iteration affects final part quality.

Compact dimensions for versatile workshop use

With external dimensions of 159.5 x 86 x 50 mm, these L-jaws suit compact and mid-size vises where space is at a premium but secure clamping is still required. The relatively modest footprint allows integration into fixtures and machines without extensive modification, making the jaws suitable for a range of workshop layouts. The modest mass of 3.86 kg contributes to stable handling while remaining manageable for routine installation and replacement.

Practical benefits for everyday machining

As hardened replacement jaws, the component is intended for straightforward installation and durable daily use. The robust contact faces assist in protecting workpiece surfaces during clamping and reduce the tendency for slippage under moderate to high clamping forces. Where repeat accuracy and durability are priorities, the hardened L-jaws provide an efficient, low-complexity solution that helps maintain throughput without frequent jaw change-outs.
