Customer Reviews for 5" Bench Lathe Milling Vice Swivel Base Precision Milling Clamping Vise Cnc

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.

I bought the 5 version for my new bench top milling machine. Awesome vice, heavy and well cast. I didn_ have to do any cleanup at all on it prior to installation, just gave it a light oiling. It feels like a quality made piece for the price, for sure.

Quality is very good for the price

Package could use some foam for the underside... it only comes with foam protection on the top and if handled roughly the bottom will scrape and not seat propperly on milling table.. (unless the swivel base is removed) it comes enclosed in plastic bag and covered in protecrive oil.Speaking about the design features, if jaws could be removed for direct use as split vise (directly onto the milling table) it would be awesome. Handle is good quality but not a speedhandle

Nice vise for the money, free shipping (mine came by FedEx).In the product description it say material is Stainless, not so. The base is cast iron and the rest is machined steel.No manual came with mine.

Great vise, and fast delivery. Thank you.

very sturdy and as described

Reviewing my new Happybuy 5" Accu Lock Vise. Vise arrived in a sturdy cardboard box partially filled with styrofoam surrounds, box was a little beat up but that's just from the shear weight of the vise and not having a styrofoam top liner (which should be included, that would have prevented all the shifting around in transport).Measurements (which everyone wanted to know) are as follows: 14 3/4" long without handle attached. 7 1/4" wide base flange to flange tips. 4 3/16" tall, 5" jaws, a big 5 7/8" max jaw opening (the ad only claims 5"), heavy 3/4" dia lead screw, 1 9/16" jaw height, 6 1/4" center to center base bolt down holes and a stout 36 pounds total.This is a very nice vise for the money. It arrived pretty clean (no metal shavings) with a very light coating of clear oil, all milled edges are razor sharp, crisp and very flat and smooth, the painted casting areas are nice with only a few sharp jagged spots. The paint job is great with a nice blue-green hammered look. The bag of included hardware is as others say a bit on the cheap side but that's not a big deal to upgrade and replace yourself.I spent about 3 hours cleaning, scraping, filing, sanding and oiling the vise. The entire inside lenght of both ways had some paint overspray on them that kept the jaws from moving easily. The two square cutouts up front had some razor sharp jagged edges that needed to be hand filed down to avoid seriously cutting yourself on. The entire bottom edge is also very sharp which I lightly filed and sanded back to avoid cuts as well. A very light coating of oil was applied to all bear metal surfaces to prevent rusting. I can turn the vise with just my fingers now without having to use the handle, which was impossible before fine tuning it up.I'm a serious diy guy and not a professional machinist so I'm not using this vise on a mill of any kind. I'm adding it to my big floor drill press to drill metals, plastics, woods, etc (I'm not using my drill press as a mill either, as it's not designed for side to side loading and don't recommend doing it).Overall this is a well machined heavy vise that should last forever if taken care of. I highly recommend it to a do it yourself person, not sure if it would fit the bill for a professional machinist or not. Rating it I deducted 1 star because of the amount of effort needed to be put into it. Four uploaded photos are attached. Hope this review helps you out.
