Advanced Workholding

Kurt's HDM690 vise, with a full 9" jaw opening, clamps larger parts with repeatable 0.001" accuracy and minimal stationary jaw deflection.


Kurt's HDM690 vise, with a full 9" jaw opening, clamps larger parts with repeatable 0.001" accuracy and minimal stationary jaw deflection. This new model vise features a rigid stationary jaw with top-down bolting and a tall body design to reduce deflection. Designed with high precision roller bearings and a hardened vise screw mechanism, HDM690 Kurt vises distribute clamping force evenly and precisely across the full jaw surface. The AngLock spherical segment in the moveable jaw (originally patented by Kurt) further reduces jaw lift. The pull-type body design reduces stress in the body resulting in more accurate clamping.

Adding to overall vise rigidity while absorbing machining vibration, Kurt HDM690 vises have 80,000psi ductile iron bodies with precision machined components. Together, these features combine for many years of trouble-free, precise clamping backed by Kurt's exclusive Lifetime Ironclad Warranty.

Designed for use on all types of machine tools including machining centers and knee-type mills, HDM690 vises are ideal for all types of machining operations. These include precision boring, tapping, drilling, grinding and finishing with high accuracy on most part configurations.

Also on display will be the Kurt rotary table workholding kits and the low profile Kurt 5-axis vise.
