Vertex Hydraulic Vise - Machine Vises,VH-4,5,6,8,8L,12
The Vertex Hydraulic Vise (VH series) is a hydraulic-booster machine vise used to clamp workpieces on milling machines, drilling machines, grinders and other machine shop equipment. It gives high clamping pressure from low hand-lever effort, making it a popular choice for toolroom and production milling setups. Stocked and supplied by SAN Tools in the UAE from our Dubai Al Quoz, Sharjah and Ajman branches.
Key features
- Hydraulic-booster clamping system — delivers maximum clamping pressure from minimum hand-lever force, for quick, consistent locking.
- Ductile cast iron body — the body resists deflection and bending under heavy cutting loads.
- Flame-hardened and ground bed ways — the sliding bed ways are flame hardened and ground for smooth, wear-resistant movement.
- Concealed spindle — the spindle is shielded from chips and dirt to protect accuracy over time.
- Repeatable accuracy — rated to within 0.02mm, suitable for precision milling, drilling and grinding work.
- Fixed or swivel base — available with or without a swivel base (HS-4/5/6/8 swivel base fits VH-4/5/6/8) for angled clamping setups.
Applications
- Milling, drilling, shaping and grinding operations
- Holding workpieces on machining centres and manual mills
- Toolroom and production machine shop workholding
- Jobs requiring high clamping force with fast, repeatable locking

How to choose
- Match jaw width to your table T-slots and workpiece size — larger VH models suit bigger workpieces and heavier milling cuts.
- Add the swivel base if you regularly need to clamp workpieces at an angle on the mill table.
- Check your machine table size and travel before selecting a vise size, since larger vises need more table space and stroke clearance.
- Keep the hydraulic system topped up with ISO 68# hydraulic oil to maintain full clamping pressure.
