Original Press Release:



Kurt Introduces New HDL Family of Large 4 Inch Opening High Density Machinable Jaw Vises With New Quick Change Jaws - They Provide Repeatable Clamping To 0.001 Inch



Minneapolis, Minnesota: Kurt's new HDL manual and hydraulic vises have new quick change jaw feature and 4 inch hard jaw opening for both clamping stations. Designed to provide the most efficient workholding for fastest part-to-part machining time, these Kurt HDL vises are equipped with machinable jaws and are easily converted from manual to hydraulic operation.

The Kurt HDL quick change jaw feature saves setup time. With a half turn of a hex key, the stationary jaw lifts off the vise body. The jaw resets and self-aligns quickly without special tools. Spring pre-load design insures fast, easy loading of parts.

These double station vises have 21 inch length and 6 inch width. They deliver up to 6,316 lbs. of clamping force at 70 lbs. of torque for the manual model and 7,800 lbs. of force at 5,000 PSI for the hydraulic model. Both feature clamping repeatability to .001 inch.

These new HDL vises are available with quick-change machinable aluminum, cast iron or hard jaws. The HDL vise design, along with the machinable jaws on two faces, makes possible maximum density workholding.

Another important HDL Vise feature is the self-adjusting holding block of either front or back jaw for clamping the same or dissimilar sized parts. To further enhance fast operation, an adjustable preload feature reduces handle turns for opening and closing the vise.

Featuring durable 80,000 PSI ductile iron bodies with precision machined steel components, Kurt's HDL design provides rugged strength, extra rigidity and long-term accuracy while absorbing machining vibration.

Kurt's new HDL Vises are backed by Kurt's exclusive lifetime Iron Clad warranty for workmanship and materials.
