Kurt DX6 | 6" Machine Vise 9" Opening

Description

The Kurt DX6 is an updated, heavy duty Kurt vise for precision milling and repeatable workholding. The revision B design uses a cast on stationary jaw to minimise deflection under load and increase stability during heavy clamping, making the Kurt DX6 ideal for finish critical machining. A proprietary AngLock® spherical segment reduces jaw lift and provides all directional alignment, while a larger bearing pack improves durability and service life. The unit ships with the handle and retains the same bed height and fixed jaw location as legacy D688 and 3600V models, simplifying retrofit on fixtures and machines. Reduced chip and coolant retention improves operator safety and cleanliness at the machine. With measurable clamping force across standard torques, the Kurt 6-inch vise gives predictable, high-force performance for production and job shop applications. Backed by Kurt’s ironclad lifetime warranty, this DX6 crossover vise is a long term, precision clamping solution.

Product Features and Benefits

Cast-on stationary jaw, reduced deflection

The cast on the stationary jaw eliminates the bolted joint used previously, delivering lower deflection and improved stability during high-force clamping for precise, repeatable setups with the Kurt DX6.

AngLock® spherical segment reduced jaw lift

Kurt’s AngLock alignment creates all directional seating to minimize jaw lift under torque, improving concentricity and part parallelism in milling and fixture work.

Large, durable bearing pack

A reinforced bearing pack supports higher loads and extends service life, enabling the 6-inch Kurt vise to withstand frequent high-torque cycles in production environments.

Same footprint as D688/3600V easy retrofit

The 6 inch milling machine retains fixed jaw location and bed height identical to D688/3600V models so you can replace older units without reworking fixtures or soft jaws.

Handle included and improved nut design

Ships with the operating handle; the redesigned nut reduces weight while maintaining clamping capacity for efficient hand operation and controlled torque application.

Reduced chip and coolant retention

The cast stationary design and new brush seal reduce blowback of chips and coolant, improving operator safety and simplifying machine cleanup after blow-off.

Optional chip guard and seals

Optional DL600-249 chip guard and improved brush seals protect the operator and internals; accessories are available where stricter chip control is required.

Ironclad lifetime warranty

Kurt’s Ironclad warranty guarantees lifetime support, offering buyers long-term assurance for capital tooling investments and minimizing total cost of ownership.
