6" / 162mm Hydraulic Machine Vice - MHV Series (Vortex) - MHV-160

The 6" / 162mm Hydraulic Machine Vice from the MHV Series (Vortex) delivers precise, repeatable workholding for milling, drilling, and other machining tasks. Designed for professional shops, engineers, and serious hobbyists, it combines robust construction with flexible operation to streamline setups and improve accuracy.

Crafted for durability and long-term precision, the MHV-160 uses a ductile iron FCD-60 body with a hardened vice bed at HRC45 to resist wear and maintain tight tolerances. It accepts mechanical or hydraulic actuation and features preset clamping for repeat use with pull-down jaw plates to secure parts consistently.

• Preset, repeatable clamping with pull-down jaw plates: The clamping force can be preset for repeat use and uses pull-down jaw plates for consistent grip, reducing setup time and improving repeatability between parts.
• Rugged, precision-grade construction: Ductile iron FCD-60 body with a hardened bed at HRC45 delivers stiffness and long-term accuracy in demanding machining environments.
• Flexible actuation and multi-vice capability: Works with mechanical or hydraulic systems; bed height-size and guide block sides enable clamping of 2, 3, or 4 vices at the same time, with four-way clamping options to fit diverse jobs.

This hydraulic machine vice helps you move from rough setup to precise, repeatable results quickly. By enabling repeat clamping and multi-vice configurations, it reduces downtime, speeds production, and enhances consistency across parts. The tough ductile-iron body and hardened bed support reliable performance over many jobs, and the dual actuation options make it easy to integrate into existing tooling setups. All backed by a 1-year guarantee for peace of mind.
