Used and surplus machine vises for sale. MRO Exchange carries a rotating selection of precision machine vises available for immediate purchase and fast nationwide shipping.

A quality machine vise is one of the most valuable pieces of equipment in a machine shop. It holds the workpiece securely, locates it repeatably from setup to setup, and resists deflection under cutting forces that would shift a lesser vise and scrap the part. For CNC machining centers running production parts, vise repeatability directly affects part-to-part consistency and cycle time. A vise that requires constant adjustment or re-indicating between setups adds hidden cost to every job it touches.

Surplus machine vises are one of the strongest value propositions in the used equipment market. A well-maintained precision vise from a reputable manufacturer — Kurt, Chick, Glacern, Orange Vise, and similar brands — holds its accuracy for decades with proper care. The jaw ways, lead screw, and nut are the wear components, and a surplus vise in good condition with minimal wear on these surfaces performs identically to a new unit at a fraction of the price. Shops adding vise capacity for a new machining center, equipping a secondary machine, or building out fixturing for a production run are the natural buyers for surplus vises.

Confirm jaw width, maximum jaw opening, and mounting hole pattern against your machine table before purchasing. MRO Exchange lists all available dimensional and condition information for every vise in our inventory.

Every vise listed on MRO Exchange ships nationwide from our facility in Illinois at prices well below new distributor cost.
