Wilton 28832 500S 5 Inch Machinist Bench Vise
Wilton 28832, model 500S, combines a five-inch gripping face with an eight-inch maximum opening in a round-channel machinist vise. The relatively larger opening does not change jaw width, while the separately listed 4.25-inch throat governs how far the workpiece can reach below the jaws.
Specifications and included details
- 5-inch jaw width, 8-inch maximum opening and 4.25-inch throat depth.
- Round-channel cast iron vise with sealed construction.
- Replaceable serrated hardened steel jaws and precision slide bar.
- 360-degree swivel base with double lockdowns and anvil surface.
Before ordering
Check workpiece shape, opening, throat reach and bench-mounting footprint. Confirm replacement-jaw part numbers for the 500S rather than selecting only by width. No calibrated clamping-force rating or mounting-bolt inventory is supplied.
Product questions and answers
Does the eight-inch opening mean eight-inch-wide jaws?
No. The jaws are five inches wide, with up to eight inches between them when opened.
Can I fit any five-inch replacement jaw?
Width alone does not establish fit. Verify the replacement part number and attachment dimensions for the 500S.
What does 4.25 inches measure?
It is the listed throat depth, a separate constraint from opening and jaw width.
