VUT-5QS machine vice — Tilting, quick-action mechanical vice by Vertex

The VUT-5QS is a tilting machine vice designed for secure clamping in general machining and milling applications, offering rapid set-up and stable workholding.

• Tilting design for angled clamping
• Quick-action mechanical operation
• Cast iron body for high rigidity
• Jaw opening 0–125 mm for versatile workpieces

Consistent precision for angled machining

The tilting clamping head converts standard straight clamping into reliable angled fixturing, enabling complex set-ups without bespoke fixtures. With a jaw opening of 0–125 mm, the vice accommodates a broad range of workpiece sizes while maintaining precision alignment through its robust jaw interfaces. For operators who require predictable positioning, the mechanism supports high repeatability, reducing the need for frequent re-measurement and saving valuable machining time.

Heavy-duty construction that dampens vibration

A cast iron construction provides inherent damping and long-term dimensional stability, which reduces chatter and extends tool life when milling or drilling. The overall footprint of 447×307×243 mm and an overall height of 563 mm ensure a low centre of gravity for enhanced stability on the machine table. The substantial body mass and carefully engineered contact surfaces deliver high rigidity, improving surface finish and reducing the risk of part movement under cutting forces.

Fast set-up with repeatable mechanical action

The quick-action mechanical drive enables faster clamping cycles compared with conventional screw-only devices, accelerating changeovers and improving throughput on repetitive tasks. The simple mechanical drive combines ease of use with robust engineering, so set-up times fall while process reliability rises. This efficient drive concept supports lean workflows in busy workshops and makes the vice a practical choice for production environments where consistent clamping speed and repeatable results are essential.
