Introducing the Palmgren 9612621 6" Quick Action Vise—an essential, general-purpose drill press vise built to elevate precision and speed in everyday machining tasks. With a 6-inch jaw width, it provides ample capacity for a wide range of materials and part sizes, from metal workpieces to plastics and composites.

Fast, one-hand clamping is at the heart of this vise. The quick-action lever lets you secure parts in moments, reducing setup time so you can move from drilling to finishing with confidence. This enables smoother workflow on busy benches, where timing matters as much as accuracy.

Flexible orientation for diverse workflows

What sets this vise apart is its remarkable versatility: it can be mounted and used turned on either side or end. This multi-directional capability delivers improved access to hard-to-reach features, easier clearance for tall workpieces, and streamlined clamping on irregular shapes without repositioning the vise.

Ideal use cases

• Drilling: maintain square alignment and consistent hole placement across multiple parts.
• Tapping: stable clamping to preserve thread pitch and finish during thread formation.
• Reaming and deburring: secure workpieces to minimize movement for precise bore finishing.
• Prototyping and small-batch fabrication: quick setup and repeatable clamping for iterative design work.

Why this Palmgren vise works for you

• Reliable, repeatable holding force that reduces runout and drift during operations.
• Robust, general-purpose design suited for hobbyists, makers, and professional shops alike.
• Simple, intuitive clamping action that speeds up repetitive tasks without sacrificing accuracy.

Practical tips for best results

• Mount the vise securely to a stable drill press table and ensure proper alignment with the spindle.
• Use parallels or soft jaws when working with delicate parts to protect surfaces while maintaining grip.
• Clamp assemblies firmly, but avoid overtightening to prevent deformation of parts or jaws.
• Keep the quick-action lever clean and lubricated to preserve smooth operation over time.

Designed for those who value efficiency and dependable performance in drilling, tapping, and reaming tasks, the Palmgren 9612621 6" Quick Action Vise delivers fast setup, flexible orientation, and solid workholding that supports accurate results from first part to last.
