Kurt DX4 | 4" CrossOver Vise with 6.5" Opening

Description

The Kurt DX4 Crossover combines proven Kurt centric geometry with advanced workholding features to deliver superior flatness, parallelism, and stability in machining operations. The Kurt DX4 crossover vise integrates AngLock and pull type designs with a revision B stationary jaw casting to reduce deflection during clamping and improve repeatability. Hardened bed and jaw plates plus an 80,000 psi ductile iron body provide durable resistance to deformation under heavy loads, while the semi hard screw and hardened components maintain accurate parallelism. With a 6.5" opening and groove lock jaw plate and workstop included, the unit is ready for precision production and toolroom work. Bolt patterns on 40 mm, 50 mm, and 2" grids and sine key acceptance simplify fixture integration and repeatable fixturing. The DX4 is the modern evolution of Kurt's D40 and 3400V designs, specified where measurable accuracy and long service life are procurement priorities.

Product Features and Benefits

AngLock & pull-type jointing to reduce body stress

Combined AngLock and pull type geometry reduces localized stress during clamping to preserve base integrity and maintain precision over repeated cycles.

Hardened bed and jaw plates for wear resistance

The kurt dx4 crossover vise features precision ground hardened surfaces that maintain consistent parallelism and resist wear from abrasive chips and repeated clamping operations.

80,000 psi ductile iron body for rigidity

The kurt 4" vise has high strength ductile iron provides structural stiffness to support heavy cutting loads while minimizing deflection for accurate machining.

Revision B stationary jaw for reduced deflection

The Kurt DX4 Integral casting of the stationary jaw further reduces flex under load, improving datum stability and repeatable part location.

Versatile mounting and alignment features

Bolts and locations on 40 mm, 50 mm, and 2" grids, plus sine key acceptance, allow straightforward integration into existing fixture patterns.

Chip evacuation and serviceable design

Straight through chip evacuation and replaceable brush seals reduce maintenance time and keep sealing and motion reliable in chip-laden environments.

Note as of 7/20/22 Kurt has removed the previously included chip guard.  The DL400-249 chip guard can now be purchased as an optional accessory.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Kurt DX4 available as a Kurt vise for sale through authorized distributors?

Yes, the DX4 is stocked by authorized Kurt Workholding distributors and approved industrial resellers.

How do I measure a vise to confirm fitment and capacity?

Measure jaw opening, overall length, center height, and mounting hole pattern to confirm fitment against the machine table and fixtures.

Can this unit be considered a Kurt 4-inch vise equivalent for small workpieces?

Yes, with a 6.5" opening, the Kurt DX4 suits small to medium workpieces and replaces many traditional 4" vise applications with greater rigidity.

Does the DX4 include accessories like a groove lock jaw plate and workstop?

Yes, groove lock jaw plate and workstop are included; optional items such as the DL400-249 chip guard are available separately.
