Palmgren Straight-Line-Pull Vises: Built Different, Guaranteed for Life
Ordinary Bency Vises Fail When You Need Them Most
Slipping jaws. Wobbling clamps. Spindles that wear out long before they should. What starts as a small annoyance quickly turns into wasted time, damaged workpieces, and costly downtime.
Keep Your Vise Working as Hard as You Do
A vise takes the stress of every cut, weld, and grind. But even the toughest tool needs care to perform at their best.
With simple daily and seasonal maintenance, you’ll extend its life, improve safety, and keep every job clamped tight.
Built from the Right Stuff
A vise is only as strong as the material it’s made from. That’s why what’s inside matters as much as what’s on the surface.
When your vise is built from better metal, it doesn’t just hold, it lasts.

FAQs
Common Questions About Combination Bench & Pipe Vises
Q: What makes a ductile cast iron vise stronger than gray iron?
A: Ductile iron has higher tensile strength and shock resistance, meaning Palmgren vises last longer and resist cracking under stress.
Q: Can Palmgren combination bench vises handle both pipe and flat stock?
A: Yes! That’s the advantage of a combination vise. The jaws securely clamp round pipe and flat stock, making it ideal for versatile shops.
Common Questions About Machinist Bench Vises - Pro Series
Q: What materials are used in the Machinist Bench Vises?
A: These vises use high-tensile malleable cast iron for both the body (main casting), movable slide bar, and nut.
Q: What kinds of applications are these vises best suited for?
A: They are designed for machinists, fabricators, and general shop users who need rugged vises for heavy duty clamping. Because of their build (hardened jaws, malleable iron castings, straight-line pull design), they work well for precision machining, metal work, fabrication, and general industrial applications.
