Vise Jaws
Hardened and soft vise jaws machined to your part, stepped or profiled as needed.
Vise jaws machined to hold the parts you actually run, with the steps and stops in the jaw rather than set by eye. Hardened inserts where the jaw takes repeated clamping.

What drives the price of this part
Derived from the callouts on this page. Where a driver is not on the drawing, it is not on this list.
- Material
- The first material listed, Tool Steel A2 (air hardening), rates 5/10 on our machinability scale at 58–60 HRC hardened · ~217 HB annealed. On this shop's scale a harder alloy means slower passes and more tool changes, and that is cycle time the quote has to carry.
- Order size
- Minimum order is 1 piece, so on a first order setup and programming are spread over very few parts and they are most of the price. Repeat orders at the same quantity are cheaper without anything on the drawing changing.
- Certification and paperwork
- ISO 9001:2015. On a certified family the inspection and documentation work is part of the price: first article inspection, material traceability and the dimensional report are produced per order, not per sample.

How these parts are inspected
Matched to the callouts above and the instruments actually on the floor.
- Coordinate measuring machine (Zeiss CONTURA G2, two machines, GR&R 8.4% on the critical feature)
- Dimensional report against the drawing, with a 100% check on critical features rather than a sample
- Certificate of conformance and the mill certificate with every shipment
- Rockwell hardness tester on the part, not only against the mill certificate
The full equipment list, with counts, is on the capability page; the inspection sequence is on quality and inspection.
Questions buyers ask
- Hard or soft jaws for batch work?
- Hard jaws with a ground step for raw stock, soft jaws bored to the part for finished or delicate surfaces. Most shops need both and use them at different operations.
