INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing a Kurt HDL6 vise. You have just purchased 
one of the best machine vises in the industry. The outstanding accuracy 
of this product is second to none. Backed by a lifetime warranty against 
workmanship and material defects, this product is built to last when used 
and maintained properly.
The original Kurt Anglock vises are designed for precision clamping on 
basic machine tools such as knee-type mills and machining centers. They 
can be used for, but are not limited to, operations like precision boring, 
drilling, tapping, & finishing.
The patented Anglock design allows the movable jaw to advance in such 
a way that each pound of force forward induces a ½ pound of force 
downward which minimizes the jaw lift and increases accuracy (Fig.1). 
This, combined with the needle bearings, increases jaw clamping pressure. 
Other features include: 80,000 psi ductile iron body, hardened vise bed & 
jaw plates, and a semi-hard steel screw.
