Customer Reviews for 5-1/8" Compound Cross Slide Industrial Strength Drill Press Vise 2 Way Benchtop

Using the 4in vise on a smithy Midas 1220. It fits the slide perfectly from side to side and must be bolted at the cross keyways. I rated the product on it's cost, and it showed up with only a mild cleanup needed. It will surely give years of dependable service.It arrived quite fast, and while packaging was a bit lacking, there was no damage to it. It is a big chunk of metal after all

some quick filing to remove sharp edges, degrease mount and tram. Basic vise that exceeded my expectations based on other reviews. If you want high end accuracy and quality quit shopping for bargain basement prices as this is good quality for the money and I would purchase again.

I did a lot of research and looking around before I settled on this particular vise. I put a lot of credit into the reviews that others wrote about their experience with all the vises that I looked at, with this vise having the most favorable reviews. With that said I received exactly what I expected, It has great down force, a good finish and operates smoothly. I knew from others reviews that the corners would be sharp and needed to be stoned and there might be some casting voids. There were a couple underneath that were not a cause for concern. The other thing I expected and it makes no sense as to why the mfg of the vise would do this, is a raised pad where the indicator mark should be for the degrees of rotation. No mark and the pad is raised 1/8" of the surface of the degrees marks. even if the mark would have been there it would have basically been useless as the surface was to high to get a good read. This surface needs to be lowered and a indicator mark added. Other than that a great vise.

Looks well built better quality than I expected for the price same features as much more expensive vises comes with hold down studs.

It's a fantastic vise, extremely well built, I was very impressed. I had to send mine back, though coz the weight is actually 75 pounds (34kg) vs the 33 pounds indicated in the website.

Good vice for the money

Very well made and substantial

Seems to be good for the price. Instruction manual seems to be translated from, Chinese? Unintelligible for the most part. I'll muddle through.

It clearly is not aligned perfectly, but for my manual mill, I am happy with it. I did loosen and adjust the jaws and that helped.

I was pleasantly surprised at how well the vise was made. I found the accuracy is the same in vises cost several times more. Fast shipping would recommend this vise
