WILTON
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about WILTON from 3G Electric.
What materials are WILTON vise jaw caps available in?
WILTON vise jaw caps are available in steel and copper. Steel jaw caps are serrated for gripping hard materials, while copper caps are softer to prevent marring delicate workpieces. Both types come in screw-in or hammer-on designs, with sizes matching specific vise jaw widths such as 4.5 inches, 5.5 inches, and 6 inches.
Are WILTON replacement spindles compatible with all WILTON C-clamps?
WILTON replacement spindles are designed for specific C-clamp models. For example, the 10-inch spindle (MPN 17000190) fits models 18G708, 18G715, and 18G727. Always verify the spindle length, diameter, and thread type against your clamp's specifications to ensure compatibility.
What is the difference between WILTON screw-in and hammer-on vise jaw caps?
Screw-in vise jaw caps attach using screws that thread into the vise body, providing a secure, permanent installation. Hammer-on caps are installed by tapping them onto the vise jaws, allowing for quicker changes between different jaw materials or for temporary workholding setups. Both types are available in steel or copper.
Does WILTON offer hydraulic strut shears for cutting strut channels?
Yes, WILTON offers a hydraulic strut shear (MPN 28910) with 30-tonf hydraulic force. It includes a pre-installed blade set but does not include dies. The shear is designed for cutting strut channels such as B-Line systems, and replacement blades (MPN 28932) are available separately.
What is the typical jaw width range for WILTON bench vises?
WILTON bench vises are available in jaw widths ranging from 4.5 inches to 6 inches, with some models offering larger sizes. The vises often include swivel bases and replaceable jaw inserts. Replacement jaw caps are sold separately for specific widths, such as 4.5-inch, 5.5-inch, and 6-inch vises.
