Forward DT08125A 5-Inch Heavy Duty Bench Vise — 360° Swivel, Ductile Iron, Anvil, 3-Jaw System

Overview

Forward DT08125A is a robust 5-inch bench vise built to withstand demanding metalworking tasks in busy shops and home garages alike. With a 125 mm wide jaw and an opening of 125 mm, it secures mid-sized workpieces with confidence.

Throat depth of 67 mm provides room to hold longer pieces while a clamp force rated at least 5500 lbs keeps your work steady during grinding, cutting or tapping. At about 33 pounds, the vise balances heft with manageability for portable setups.

Durable construction

The vise pairs stationary and floating bodies crafted from industrial-strength ductile iron and rated around 60,000 psi, delivering rigidity and long term stability under load.

Jaw system for versatility

Three jaw configurations expand what you can clamp:

• Replaceable top jaws with microgroove teeth provide a secure bite on flat stock.
• Built in pipe jaws support round tubes from about 3/5 inch to 2 1/2 inch diameter.
• V jaws help grip angled or round workpieces for precise positioning.

360 degree flexibility

The front head swivels 360 degrees and the base rotates, letting you clamp objects at nearly any angle. This makes it easier to access awkward edges or align pieces before cutting or grinding.

Practical applications

Designed for both industrial and DIY use, this vise shines when you need a reliable hold for tasks such as grinding, cutting, tapping, and assembly on a large reinforced anvil. It is straightforward to mount, with a solid lockdown for steady performance.

In real world shops, the combination of 3 jaw options, tough ductile iron, and a wide clamping range translates to fewer repositionings and smoother workflows. The DT08125A aims to be a dependable partner for everyday fabrication tasks while leaving room for experimentation and adjustments as projects evolve.
