Baileigh BV-6Q Vise
The Baileigh BV-6Q is a professional-grade 6-inch quick release sliding drill press vise built with heavy-duty steel and cast iron construction, designed to deliver fast setups and rock-solid workpiece security for all your precision drilling operations.
When you need to hold workpieces securely for precise drilling, the BV-6Q delivers the reliability you can count on. This isn't just another drill press vise – it's engineered with professional metalworkers, fabricators, and serious hobbyists in mind. The quick release mechanism means you'll spend less time adjusting and more time working, while the cam-action locking handle lets you secure workpieces in seconds.
Built from robust plate steel and cast iron, this vise is designed to handle the demands of daily shop use. Whether you're running a professional fabrication shop or working on projects in your home workshop, the BV-6Q gives you the clamping power and stability needed for accurate drilling, tapping, reaming, and countersinking operations. At 33 pounds, it has the weight and substance to minimize vibration and provide the steady platform your precision work demands.
With a 6-inch jaw opening capacity and 6-1/4 inch jaw width, you'll have plenty of room to work with various workpiece sizes. The 1-5/8 inch jaw height provides optimal clearance for most drilling applications while maintaining a low profile that won't interfere with your drill press's quill travel. Baileigh backs this vise with their industry-leading one-year warranty and lifetime technical support, so you're never on your own.
Applications
- Precision Drilling Operations: Hold metal, wood, or plastic workpieces securely for accurate hole placement in fabrication and manufacturing projects
- Tapping and Threading: Keep parts perfectly stable while creating threaded holes, eliminating the risk of broken taps from workpiece movement
- Reaming and Countersinking: Achieve professional-quality hole finishing with the solid holding power that prevents workpiece shifting
- Repetitive Production Work: Use the quick release mechanism to speed through multiple identical parts with consistent, repeatable positioning
- Small Parts Machining: Safely secure small components that would be dangerous or difficult to hold by hand during drilling operations
- Light Milling Operations: While designed primarily for drill presses, the solid construction allows for light end mill work when needed

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this vise fit my drill press table?
The BV-6Q features four mounting slots in the base, making it compatible with most standard drill press tables. The base dimensions provide stable mounting on tables 12 inches or larger. We recommend measuring your table and ensuring you have adequate clearance for the vise to open fully.
Can I use this vise for milling operations?
While the BV-6Q is primarily designed as a drill press vise, its solid steel and cast iron construction can handle light milling operations. However, for regular milling work, a dedicated milling vise would be more appropriate. The quick release mechanism is optimized for drilling applications.
How do I maintain this vise?
Maintenance is simple. Keep the sliding surfaces clean and lightly oiled. Wipe away metal chips and debris after use. Periodically check the mounting bolts to ensure they remain tight. The cam-action mechanism requires minimal maintenance but benefits from occasional lubrication of moving parts.
What's the maximum thickness of material I can hold?
The 6-inch jaw opening allows you to clamp materials up to 6 inches thick. Keep in mind that for optimal holding power, you'll want the workpiece positioned as close to the fixed jaw as practical.
Is hardware included for mounting to my drill press?
Yes, mounting hardware is included with the vise. However, depending on your specific drill press table configuration, you may need to source appropriate length bolts to match your table thickness.
