Strong Hand 3-Axis Welding Fixture Vise, 4.75 inch

The Strong Hand WAC45-SW 3-Axis Welding Clamp is a heavy-duty fixture vise designed to hold multiple pieces square and securely positioned for welding in a single setup. Ideal for fabricating frames, boxes, tubing assemblies, structural components, and other three-dimensional projects, this professional welding clamp holds material at fixed 90-degree angles to simplify fit-up and improve accuracy.

Built from heavy cast iron with precision-machined clamping surfaces, the WAC45-SW provides the rigidity and stability needed to keep parts aligned during tack welding, final welding, and cool down. Keeping the workpiece securely fixtured as the weld cools can help minimize movement and distortion caused by material contraction, resulting in straighter, more accurate finished assemblies.

Setup is fast thanks to Strong Hand's Quick Acting Screws. Simply press the quick-action button to slide the threaded spindle rapidly into position, release it to engage the threads, and turn the handle to apply final clamping pressure. This eliminates the need to wind the spindle through its entire travel, saving valuable setup time when working with different material sizes or repetitive fabrication jobs.

The removable third-axis clamping arm securely positions vertical material at 90 degrees to the horizontal workpieces, allowing three pieces to be aligned and welded in one fixture. Once the weld is complete, the arm swings out of the way for quick removal of the finished assembly. The WAC45-SW features a curved third-axis arm for additional workpiece clearance and easier access during welding.

With a generous 4.75 inch maximum clamping capacity, the WAC45-SW accommodates a wide variety of tubing, angle, plate, and fabricated components. The swiveling jaw self-centers to accommodate workpieces of different sizes, while the included stand-offs and magnetic rest blocks provide additional support and positioning flexibility for longer stock and challenging setups.

The WAC45-SW can be bench mounted for a dedicated welding station or used as a portable fixture around the shop. For fabricators who regularly build frames, boxes, tables, carts, racks, tubing assemblies, or other 90-degree structures, this 3-axis fixture can dramatically simplify setup and help produce faster, more consistent results.
