Description

The 6" / 160mm Double Lock Machine Vice (MLD-160) from the Vortex MLD Series is a precision, low-maintenance clamp designed for versatile workshop use. It can function as a double or single vise, with a dedicated location slot that ensures accurate and repeatable positioning for two workpieces or a single larger piece. This design supports quick setups and repeatable results across a range of applications, from machining centers to manual benches. It ships with essential accessories to get you clamping right away: 2 guide keys, 2 M6 screws, 4 clamps, and 1 handle.

  • Six clamp positions with location slot: Six distinct clamping positions plus a precise locating slot enable fast, repeatable setups for different workpieces, reducing setup time and misalignment.
  • Removable centre jaw for large workpieces: The centre jaw can be removed to accommodate larger parts, providing secure, centered holding without changing jaws.
  • Fixed or movable rear jaw with backplate: Choose fixed or movable rear jaw operation with a special backplate for stable, versatile holding across part sizes and geometries.

Together, the MLD-160 delivers reliable, repeatable clamping that streamlines workflows, improves part-to-part consistency, and reduces downtime between setups. Built for durability and precision, it supports a wide range of jobs—from routine production parts to demanding, large workpieces—so you can trust it to perform day after day.
