More details will be available later this week at orangevise.com.

The new OV6-160SS vise from Orange Vise Company is built with the same quality as the OV6-200DS and OV6-175DS double station vises, but has been redesigned as a simpler, lower cost single station vise.

The vise body is 6.0" wide by 16.0" long by 3.0" tall (the bed height on all of our six inch vises are identical). Nothing protrudes out the front or rear of the vise, making the vise more compact that many 5" vises on the market. It is particularly well suited for smaller machines such as Haas Minimills, Fanuc Robodrills, Brother drilling/tapping centers, and the Sharp SV2414. It can also be used on Bridgeport type vertical mills and the Tormach PCNC1100.

The jaws and jaw plates are identical and interchangeable with those of the double station vises. We are currently expanding our line of available jaws, including soft jaws, step jaws, serrated jaws, and many others, which will be fully compatible with the OV6-160SS.

Standard jaw capacity is 8.0" with jaw plates removed. Included quick-change jaw plates reduce capacity by 1.5". Optional L-Jaws (coming soon) increase capacity to 12.0".

Many of the same features of the double station vises carry over to the single station vise.
- The main screw is completely sealed, preventing contamination from chips and swarf.
- The rear jaw is fixed in place using dowel pins and a set screw for very high repeatability, 0.0005" or better.
- The body is made of Durabar ductile cast iron, flame hardened to HRC 48-50 and powdercoated
- The jaw carriers are nickel plated for longevity

A few differences:
- The vise cannot be used as a double-station vise
- The jaws can only be fixed in the rear position (the vise does not work as a "reversed" style vise). However, the jaws are identical/interchangeable, so either jaw can be fixed in the rear position.
- Without a center jaw, the vise bed is more "solid" with no exposed holes.
- Lower cost: the vise will priced at $999.00 with specials available to forum members. Email us at [email protected] for more details on special pricing.
