Introducing our newest 4-post and 2-post barrel vises; designed to meet the needs of both professional gunsmiths, and enthusiasts alike.
 
Crafted from 1045 carbon steel billets, these clamps are built to last, and the CNC machining and nickel coating ensure rust resistance, even in the harshest conditions.
 
We’ve taken things a step further by using 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum billets to machine the half-circle pieces that clamp the barrel securely in place. This, coupled with the 4 thrust ball bearings that increase clamping force, ensures the barrel stays put, even during heavy use.
 
We understand the importance of reliability, which is why we’ve used only the highest-quality materials. Our nuts and bolts are grade 12.9 high tensile, and the clamps are spring-loaded for ease of use. Loosening the nuts will automatically open the clamp, making it effortless to use.
 
The 2-post barrel vise is perfect for enthusiasts, more suited to the occassional barrel change rather than daily use, yet still more than capable of getting the job done, and making it look easy too!
 
Invest in our new 4-post and 2-post barrel clamps, and experience the ultimate in precision and durability.
 
Both models of our barrel vise come with the 7 most commonly used sizes by gunsmiths - all 7 are included with the vise!
 
Footprint:  150x35mm
Bench installation holes distance: 125mm
Height: 110mm
Clamping diameters:  1",  1.1", 1.12", 1.18", 1.21", 1.25",  1.5"
Thrust bearing: Model No. 51102
 
Accessories included:
4pc Stainless bolts (2pc spare)
2pc High tensile M12X90mm bolts with nuts and spring washers and washers (to be used for installation onto your bench)
4pc 5mm emergency use washers (if any thrust bearing fails)
 
 
About 51102 thrust bearings:
 
2 thrust bearings will significantly reduce the friction from nut tightening, therefore the same torque on nuts will generate far greater downward force.
Each thrust bearing can statically bear a maximum axial load force of 16600N ≈1.69 tons.
Thrust bearings will damage if bearing balls were not sitting in the running grooves! And the ball bearings bracket will immediately deform and causing bearing balls to pop out.
Each package comes with 2 x 5mm thick washers for emergency use in case your thrust bearing fails.
 
Replacement thrust bearings can be purchased if needed (individually or a 4 pack - please contact us if required).
 
During the prototype, we noticed some gunsmiths would mount our vise onto a big cheater bar.  You are welcome to do so but you will have to replace the thrust bearings with washers instead. Thrust bearings will get damaged if bearing balls were not sitting in the running grooves. When a cheater bar is used, the bearing will hardly sit level and causing balls to derail and pop out.
