Irwin Vise Jaws T5D 5 Inch Hardened Steel Replacement Plates (Machined Face Serrated Hardware Repair Kit for Record No 5 Heavy Duty Bench Vise)

Irwin Record 5 Inch Replacement Jaw Plates & Hardware Kit T5D

The Irwin Tools T5D Record 5-Inch Replacement Jaw Plates and Screws Kit operates as a heavy-duty vise restoration assembly engineered to renew clamping alignment and holding power on Record No. 5 bench vises. Forged from hardened steel alloy with precision-machined contact faces and cross-hatch serration grooves, these 5-inch replacement plates eliminate workpiece slippage during heavy cutting, grinding, and metal fabrication. This maintenance hardware kit includes high-tensile mounting fasteners built to original equipment manufacturing tolerances, restoring parallel surface contact across solid steel stock, iron pipe, and structural timber without jaw side-play.

Best Used For:

• Bench Vise Overhaul & Restoration: Replacing worn, smooth, or chipped vise jaws on Irwin Record No. 5 bench vises to restore factory clamping force.
• Non-Slip Steel & Pipe Fabrication: Securing smooth round steel stock, iron tubing, and structural metal bars firmly during heavy thread cutting, grinding, and filing.
• Precision Machine & Woodwork Clamping: Eliminating jaw side-play and uneven clamping pressure to hold wood, composite, and steel workpieces perfectly square.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• Hardened Steel Alloy Compound: Forged industrial steel construction resists severe impact, surface chipping, and wear under extreme clamping pressure.
• Precision-Machined Load-Bearing Faces: Fully machined contact surfaces ensure flat, uniform alignment across the entire 5-inch jaw width.
• Deep Cross-Hatch Serrated Texture: Diamond-patterned surface profile grips metal, pipe, and timber securely to prevent workpiece rotation or slippage.
• Exact OEM Specification Compatibility: Engineered specifically to match original mounting hole center distances on Irwin Record No. 5 vises.
• Complete Fastener Mounting Package: Includes four high-tensile machine screws to replace worn or sheared original mounting hardware instantly.
• Side-Play Elimination Alignment: Machined base edges seat flush against vise body channels to prevent lateral shift under high torque loads.

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: Before installing new replacement jaw plates, thoroughly clean out rust, metal shavings, and debris from the mounting recesses on the vise body using a wire brush. Applying a small drop of medium-strength blue threadlocker to the mounting screw threads prevents vibration from loosening the jaw plates during heavy hammering and grinding operations.
