Description
Precision workholding in three orientations. The Proxxon machine vise (No. 24255) is milled from solid steel for rigidity and accuracy — essential for milling and drilling operations where workpiece movement would ruin the cut. With 60mm jaw width and 42mm clamping capacity, it handles a wide range of workpiece sizes, and the ability to mount on its side and back gives you three clamping orientations for maximum setup flexibility. Mounting bolts and a wooden storage box are included.

Machine Vise vs. Clamping Fixture — Which Do You Need?
- Machine Vise (No. 24255) — this vise: Milled steel, 60mm jaws, 42mm capacity. Best for holding rectangular and prismatic workpieces securely for milling and drilling. Three mounting orientations for setup flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this compatible with the Proxxon MF 70?
Yes — the machine vise can be mounted to the MF 70 milling machine table using the included mounting bolts. Verify T-slot compatibility with your specific machine table.
Can this be used on a compound table?
Yes — the vise can be mounted to the KT 230 Compound Table for use with drill presses and milling machines.
What's the advantage of the side and back mounting orientations?
Mounting the vise on its side or back allows you to clamp workpieces in orientations that would be impossible with a standard upright vise — useful for angled drilling, side milling, and complex setups.
