Kurt DX8 | 8" CrossOver Vise with 10" Opening

Description

The Kurt DX8 represents the pinnacle of versatile workholding technology, combining the precision of traditional milling vises with innovative crossover functionality for enhanced productivity in modern machine shops. This Kurt crossover vise features an 8-inch jaw width that accommodates a wide range of workpiece sizes while maintaining the compact footprint essential for maximizing machine table utilization. With a generous 10-inch maximum opening capacity, the Kurt 8-inch vise jaw dimensions enable clamping of oversized parts that exceed the capabilities of standard 6-inch vises. Engineered as a premium Kurt milling machine vise, the DX8 delivers exceptional clamping force distribution across the entire jaw face, preventing workpiece distortion during aggressive cutting operations. The crossover design philosophy integrates rapid positioning capabilities with precision ground-contact surfaces, reducing setup time without sacrificing accuracy. Hardened steel construction throughout critical components ensures dimensional stability and wear resistance during continuous production cycles. The Kurt workholding vise incorporates anglock technology that prevents jaw lift under heavy side loads, maintaining part position during multi-axis machining operations. Precision-ground base surfaces interface seamlessly with machine tables, providing reliable repeatability when vises are repositioned between jobs. The kurt machining vise features a quick-adjust handle that enables rapid jaw positioning followed by final tightening for secure clamping. Replaceable jaw inserts protect machined surfaces while allowing customization for specific workpiece geometries. The robust casting design resists deflection under maximum clamping forces, ensuring consistent part location across production runs. Dual dowel pin holes in the base facilitate accurate vise alignment on machine tables equipped with grid systems.
