Features Designed for Industrial Performance and Dependable Workholding

80,000 PSI SG Ductile Iron Construction

Manufactured from high-strength SG ductile iron, this industrial-duty vise delivers exceptional durability and resistance to cracking while maintaining an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. The rugged construction is designed to withstand demanding shop environments and heavy daily use.

Combination Bench and Pipe Vise Design

The integrated pipe jaws allow the vise to securely hold pipe, tubing, and round stock in addition to traditional flat workpieces. This versatile design helps reduce the need for multiple workholding tools and increases productivity throughout the shop.

7,480 Pounds of Maximum Clamping Force

With up to 7,480 lbs. of clamping force, this vise provides the holding power needed to keep materials securely in place during fabrication, assembly, maintenance, and repair operations.

360° Locking Swivel Base

The locking swivel base rotates a full 360 degrees, allowing users to position workpieces for improved accessibility and efficiency. Once positioned, the base locks securely to help maintain stability during demanding tasks.

Replaceable Serrated Steel Jaws

Hardened serrated steel jaws provide a strong grip on workpieces while resisting wear. Because the jaws are replaceable, the vise can remain in service longer while reducing long-term maintenance costs.

Large Hardened Anvil Surface

The integrated hardened anvil provides a convenient work surface for light hammering, shaping, staking, and forming operations commonly performed in maintenance and fabrication environments.

Precision-Fit Slide Bar Assembly

An adjustable precision-fit slide bar helps ensure smooth, consistent operation while maintaining proper alignment throughout the vise's working range.

How a Combination Bench & Pipe Vise Solves Common Workholding Challenges

Many maintenance and fabrication tasks involve securing both flat materials and round stock. Standard bench vises often lack dedicated pipe-holding capabilities, making it difficult to securely clamp pipe, conduit, and tubing.

The Palmgren Industrial Duty Bench & Pipe Vise solves this challenge by combining traditional flat-jaw clamping with integrated pipe jaws in a single workholding solution. The result is greater versatility, improved efficiency, and fewer setup changes when working with a variety of materials.

Its heavy-duty SG ductile iron construction, high clamping force, and locking swivel base provide the stability and durability needed to perform demanding work safely and accurately.

Which Palmgren 6" Bench Vise Is Right for Your Application?

Choosing the right bench vise depends on the type of work you perform most often. While all Palmgren vises are designed to provide dependable workholding, each model is optimized for different applications. Some prioritize general-purpose workholding, while others offer pipe-holding capabilities, industrial-duty construction, or advanced straight-line pull technology designed to reduce wear and improve long-term performance.

If you primarily perform maintenance, assembly, and general shop work, a utility bench vise may be the ideal choice. For users who regularly work with pipe and tubing, a combination bench and pipe vise offers added versatility. Shops that demand maximum durability, high clamping force, and industrial-grade construction may benefit from an industrial duty model, while professional users looking for smooth operation and reduced component wear should consider a straight-line pull vise.
