This is a great vice for the drill press.I am really impressed at the build quality. I thought I would have to take a file to the threads to get this vice to work smoothly, but the vice worked perfectly out of the box. Removed the factory shmutz sprayed it down with ptfe - good to go. Wen is becoming my new favorite tool company. Great prices and the quality can compete with any other brand.

It's an acceptable vise for home shop use. The slide system is held in place by bar and two hex screws on the under side. You have to leave them just a bit loose so the slide will move back and forth. Therefore it has a slight bit of play. But for such a small vise, most people wouldn't need massive force or clamping weight...it's too small for that. So for holding and drilling small parts, this should work fine. My vise wasn't completely level and had a small rock to it....or maybe my drill table was the culprit...but i any event with light clamping pressure both surfaces flattened out and the press had no rock to it. This would likely not be accurate enough for machining operations but for general home shop drilling, it works.

Heavy duty well made cast iron drill press vise at a low price. I was impressed with the weight and quality of this item. The threads on the screw that tightens the jaws is the Acme type and will be good for many years. An all around good buy.

The tops of the jaws will tilt out during clamping, but for the price and otherwise quality, it is great.
