DX4 CrossOver features comparison to D40 Vise

• DX4 is a replacement vise to D40 vise
• Larger opening (6.5″ versus 3.75″)
• Same bed height as D40
• Narrower body style than D40 and allows more vises on machine table
• Updated proven bearing pack shared with the 3400 series
• Same distance from the keyway to stationary as D40

• DX4 Manual

We have moved away from keyways on our redesigned vises and there are several reasons for this change. 

To start, reaming a precision hole is more efficient than cutting a keyway. It is easier to hold our precision location with a single bore then two entire surfaces of a keyway. This bore is also used as a basis for our other features (such as stationary jaw parallelism) and therefore a more consistent location transforms into a more precise product. It also allows us to put in additional precision holes to fit many grid plates (2”x2”, 40mm x 40mm, 50mm x 50mm) without adding additional cost to the final product.

Next, our reamers are rated at a H7 tolerance, which is DIA +.0003 to +.0006. The reamer creates a more consistent hole size. This precision allows the end user to have less setup time as the tolerance stack up of the reamed hole and sine key are minimized.

Also, the slip fit between the reamed hole and the sine key do not cause any install/uninstall issues. An oversized o-ring is applied to the sine key, which gets compressed as it is installed into the vise, keeping it securely fixed in the vise body. The previous design utilized a small socket head cap screw, which required an Allen wrench for installing/uninstalling, as well as an additional time to line up the key in the keyway, hold it there, and install the SHCS.

With our commitment and Lifetime Ironclad Warranty, the DX4 CrossOver vise is destined to become the go-to vise for all your machining applications. Order yours today, or to learn more contact CIS Tools UK.
