Description
The Kurt HDHLM4J is a precision hydraulic vise engineered for heavy duty metalworking where repeatable clamping and minimal setup variation are required. The 4" jaw width on this Kurt hydraulic vise delivers a compact footprint with a high clamping capacity suitable for production mills and toolroom use. The HDHLM4J ships with a hard jaw kit for secure grip on ferrous and non-ferrous parts and quick changeover between jobs. Made for machinists who demand consistent holding power, the hydraulic actuation provides smooth, controllable force without manual over tightening. Component interfaces follow Kurt standards for retrofit compatibility with common fixture layouts and machinist vises. Reduced chip retention and robust sealing improve service life and lower maintenance in shop environments. Backed by Kurt engineering and field proven durability, the Kurt 4-inch vise is optimized for high throughput milling and repetitive operations.
