Customer Reviews for 4" Bench Lathe Milling Vice Swivel Base Drill Press 100mm Jaw Width Drilling

I purchased two 4" vises to be used together on a small Grizzly mill. The size it just right for the machine. I like the fact they provide keys so you can trim the keys to fit the table. The keys also provide a positive lock to keep the vises in-line while working. The -1 star is because of the height difference in using a pair on the machine. The vises are not book ends to each other. My examples are .012 different in height so I will have to shim 1 vise so they are the same working height. The milled keyed areas under the vise are not the same to each other as well. Also 1 handle was not broached all the way therefore it would not slide onto the hex vise screw fully. So the vises need a little TLC before using them for other projects in the garage. I'm happy I didn't spend $1000 for kurt vises when with a few hours of tuning these vises will be more than fine for my intended machine. These vises are not for real CNC work as the vises are not held to the tightest tolerances. For the price they can't be beat.

Looks and works as good as the $500 vice.

I purchased two of the 3" vises for holding longer parts on my small mill; these were perfect since they're pretty lite, and the footprint on the 3" is minimal. I just finished flycutting my first parts and everything came out within 0.0015" and that's REALLY close when you consider the inaccuracies built into the mill.The coating on the base is a pretty flaky, and so far it has chipped when tightening the vises to the table; not a big deal, but nicer units have a ground surface in that spot. When I have more time I may mill it clean.I don't think I will use one of these as my primary work-holding when I'm not making long stuff, but they are an amazing value, especially when considering the Prime status.

Great value and a quality product. I almost wish I had gotten swivel base but would not use for over a year.Camera invisible line when jaws closed and the play when open is due to backlash on nut that goes away on closing.The 123 block test was edge grip with 0.002" precision shim holding one from falling and need to use force to bring in 0.001" shim on other side of vise as per picture. Clamping pressure consistent across 6".Bottom is well ground as well, top jaws are not detectable by finger so < 1 thou.Happy with purchase, wish rotating base was available separately.Manual is horribly translated, worst Google translate seen to date.

This product is well made and man is it heavy!

I am impressed with the quality of this vise for the cost. Operation is smooth and precise.

It is a bit big for my Taig mill so I made some different mounts. Jaws were misaligned probably during shipping but easy to adjust, now they fit together well. Handle is crudely cast and awkward to use. Great value.
