Kurt Workholding is rolling out the new DX8 CrossOver^® vise to bring the same benchmark DX-series vise features to the 8-inch vise platform

The Kurt DX8 CrossOver® vise is the newest and largest vise in the DX CrossOver® vise family. We’ve combined the best features of the Kurt D810 and Kurt 3800V vises into a single vise with state-of-the-art features that set a new standard in precision flatness, parallelism and repeatability.

DX8 CrossOver features new body design

The premium, one-piece body design, now standard on all our general-purpose vises was designed using Finite Element Analysis and has 30% Less horizontal (push back) deflection than previous DX models. Less vise-body deflection means more stability than a bolt-on design allows and a lifetime of dimensional precision. It’s the same design we’ve used successfully on 3600V and 3800V models for years. 

The DX8 CrossOver® vise features the same bed height and keyway to the stationary jaw face as the D810 and a redesigned nut with lighter weight, a new brush seal design and a larger, stronger bearing pack that’s more durable than previous vise designs.

Introducing the Kurt DX CrossOver Vise Family

The Kurt DX8 CrossOver® vise is the newest and largest vise in the DX CrossOver® vise family. We’ve combined the best features of the Kurt D810 and Kurt 3800V vises into a single vise with state-of-the-art features that set a new standard in precision flatness, parallelism and repeatability.

Additional benefits of a stationary jaw

• Improves vise performance – jaw cannot be removed and reassembled incorrectly
• Eases fastener-induced body stress – eliminating fasteners on the top of the stationary jaw means there’s less chance of twist in the body during or after assembly
• Minimizes chip and fluid blowback – no counter-bored holes on the top of the stationary jaw to catch chips and no blow back when cleaning the chips off with an air nozzle.
• The pull-type design, including the cast-on stationary jaw, now matches the quality and safety of our highest precision 3600V and 3800V family

Featured on all new DX CrossOver vises

The redesigned body still retains the lifting handle on the back side of the stationary jaw for easy positioning while the chip guard no longer passes under the stationary jaw with the one-piece body design and won’t protrude out of the back of the vise. (Note: Chip guards should be cut to match part sizes. See owner’s manual for instructions.) The entire DX family of vises feature the proprietary Kurt AngLock® spherical segment to create all-directional alignment and reduce jaw lift and improve performance. All DX CrossOver® vises also use sine keys for easy, accurate mounting and feature Kurt’s Lifetime Ironclad Warranty.
