TKX290 - RIDGID 461 Straight Pipe Welding Vise, 1/2-inch to 8-inch Capacity

Heavy-Duty RIDGID 461 Straight Pipe Welding Vise

The RIDGID 461 Straight Pipe Welding Vise is an essential tool for professional pipe fabricators and industrial welders who demand precision and durability. Engineered to withstand the rigorous conditions of heavy-duty welding environments, this vise is constructed from performance-proven malleable iron. This material choice ensures that the tool remains robust and reliable, even when subjected to the intense heat and physical strain associated with tacking and welding large pipe sections. Unlike standard vises that may warp or degrade under thermal stress, the RIDGID 461 is specifically designed to resist such deformation, maintaining its structural integrity over years of service.

With a generous pipe capacity ranging from 1/2 inch to 8 inches, this straight welding vise offers exceptional versatility for a wide array of projects. Whether you are working on small-diameter utility lines or larger industrial piping systems, the Model 461 provides a secure hold that is critical for accurate alignment and high-quality welds. The design features machined swivel nuts and pins, which facilitate smooth adjustments and tight clamping force without binding. This attention to detail in the manufacturing process translates to increased efficiency on the job site, allowing operators to set up their workpieces quickly and confidently.

At Josef Gas, we understand that reliable tooling is the backbone of successful fabrication. The RIDGID 461 (Catalog No. 40220) exemplifies the quality that professionals expect from the RIDGID brand. Its straight design is optimized for holding pipe sections firmly in place, preventing movement that could compromise the weld joint. The unit is substantial enough to provide a stable base yet portable enough to be moved around the shop or field site as needed. Investing in a high-quality welding vise like the RIDGID 461 not only improves safety by securely holding heavy materials but also enhances the overall quality of the finished fabrication by ensuring precise fit-up.
