Kurt introduces D688 vice to meet demands of high performance machining centres

Kurt's D688 vice has been designed for use with the latest high performance machining centres. Its 8.8-inch jaw opening is repeatable to within 0.001 inch and it produces up to 7,968 lb clamping force with just 80 ft-lb input torque.

The Kurt D688 has high precision roller bearings and an alloy steel screw mechanism to distribute clamping force evenly and precisely across the full jaw surface. Meanwhile the company's patented Anglock movable jaw further reduces jaw lift. D688 vices have non-porous, 80,000-PSI ductile iron bodies for overall vice rigidity and ability to absorb machining vibration. Additional features include removable, hardened jaw plates, an ergonomically designed vice handle, and GrooveLock workstops that store easily in the vice body. The D688 is suitable for all types of machining operations including precision boring, tapping, drilling and finishing with high accuracy on most part configurations. The D688 is sold with Kurt's lifetime warranty.
