Magnetic Jaw Cap 5.5" Rubber Pair
This Wilton R-5.5 magnetic jaw cap set includes two rubber-faced caps designed to fit 5.5 inch vise jaws. Hardened aluminium alloy construction resists scratches and corrosion for long service life. A built-in circular permanent magnet on the back of each cap holds small ferrous parts in position while you work. The rubber face prevents slippage and protects delicate workpieces from marking.
Mechanics handling small ferrous parts
These caps suit technicians who need to secure screws, pins or thin metal stock without them falling out of the vise. The magnetic hold keeps parts steady during tapping, filing or light drilling operations. Users who work primarily with non-magnetic materials such as aluminium, brass or plastic will not benefit from the magnetic feature. Buyers requiring wider jaw coverage or a different jaw profile should consider other accessories.
5.5 inch jaw width compatibility
The caps are manufactured to fit vises with a 5.5 inch jaw width. Confirm your vise jaw measurement before purchase to ensure proper fit. The pair provides one cap for each jaw of a standard bench vise. No other dimensions or mounting specifications are supplied.

Questions about this item
How do I install the magnetic jaw cap on a 5.5" vise and what step do people often miss?
Place the cap over the existing steel jaws; the built-in permanent magnet on the backside holds it in position without bolts. The step users miss is cleaning both jaw faces first — debris weakens the magnetic grip.
What maintenance or replacement will the R-5.5 jaw caps need over time?
The rubber facing wears with heavy clamping; replace the pair when the surface no longer prevents slippage. The hardened aluminium alloy body resists scratches and corrosion, so only the rubber face typically requires renewal.
What is the first limit that appears when the caps are used continuously on ferrous parts?
Heat from prolonged welding or grinding can degrade the rubber face and weaken the permanent magnet's holding force before the aluminium body shows any damage.
