Fein VersaMAG VISE 160 L Magnetic Vise, 160 mm Jaw Width, 7500 N Holding Force

In a busy metalworking shop, a machinist needs to secure a steel plate for precise drilling without cumbersome clamps. The Fein VersaMAG VISE 160 L locks onto any ferromagnetic surface with a simple lever throw, delivering 7500 N of holding power. Its 160 mm jaws open wide to grip flat or round workpieces, and the entire jaw assembly rotates 360° for optimal positioning. This magnetic vise turns setup time into seconds, letting you focus on the cut, not the clamping.

Key specifications

• Holding force: 7500 N (7.5 kN) on ferromagnetic surfaces
• Jaw width: 160 mm
• Clamping range: 0 – 160 mm
• Magnet type: Permanent magnet with manual lever activation
• Jaw rotation: 360° for flexible workpiece orientation
• Jaw material: Hardened steel, replaceable and reversible

Why choose it

Unlike traditional vises that require bolting to a table, the VersaMAG VISE 160 L uses a powerful permanent magnet to anchor directly to any ferromagnetic work surface. The manual lever engages or releases the magnet in an instant, so you can reposition the vise without tools. Hardened steel jaws provide a secure, non-marring grip on both flat and round materials, and their reversibility extends service life. Whether you're drilling, grinding, assembling, or doing light milling, this vise holds firm and reduces vibration for cleaner results.

Ideal use cases

• Drilling and tapping on steel plates, beams, or machine tables
• Grinding and deburring small parts
• Assembly work requiring stable positioning
• Light milling operations on ferromagnetic workpieces
