Vertex VWT-6B Tilting Milling Vice with 1600 kgf Clamping Force

The Vertex VWT-6B is a mechanical milling vice designed for secure workholding in machining centres and manual mills, featuring a tilting function for angled clamping and a wide 0–350 mm jaw opening

• Tilting design for angled clamping
• 0–350 mm opening for large workpieces
• 1600 kgf clamping force for secure fixation
• Cast iron body for vibration damping
• Accuracy 0.01 mm for repeatable results

Stable construction for consistent precision

A heavy cast iron chassis and a mass of 79.7 kg give the vice excellent damping properties, which directly improves surface finish and tool life by reducing chatter. The specified accuracy of 0.01 mm describes the unit’s repeatability under normal clamping conditions; this level of precision supports tight-tolerance work and reduces the need for secondary alignment operations. The high clamping force (1600 kgf) keeps parts firmly located during high-feed passes, so set-up integrity is maintained throughout production runs.

Versatile angled clamping to simplify setups

The integrated tilting function permits secure clamping at common machining angles, enabling complex fixtures to be replaced by a single device. With a jaw opening of 0–350 mm, the vice accommodates a wide range of stock sizes, limiting the number of different vises required in a busy shop. For shops that switch frequently between prototypes and small-series production, this flexibility shortens changeover time and supports a more efficient workflow.

Practical installation and operation for workshop use

As a mechanical vice, the VWT-6B combines straightforward operation with robust mechanics that are easy to service. The vice’s weight and footprint provide a stable foundation on the machine table; straightforward clamping adjustments keep cycle times low. Routine maintenance is limited to lubrication of sliding surfaces and periodic inspection of the screw mechanism, which helps preserve the vice’s accuracy and service life without complex procedures.

Why this vice supports efficient production

Choosing a heavy, tilting vice like this reduces fixturing complexity and increases machining throughput: fewer repositions, fewer setups and less scrap. The design emphasises operational reliability and predictable results, which is particularly valuable for workshops supplying repeatable parts to industry. Combined with Metav Werkzeuge’s distribution and quality-assurance approach, this vice forms part of a dependable workholding strategy that aligns precision with everyday workshop demands.
