Milling Vise 5 Inch with Swivel Base

This is not a true milling vise but works fine on a drill press or workbench. For the money, it is a decent vise and is suitable for most jobs around the shop If you are getting into machining and looking for an actual milling vise, this is not what you need. I have no problem with the quality of the vise, just the description as a milling vise. All in all, it is a pretty decent vise and worth the money unless you are looking for the precision of an actual milling vise. I am happy with my purchase.

I ordered this vice(5") thinking it would be good enough for my needs . but I'm quite impressed with it really I've taken some measurements of it on the mill and its nice and square . the only reason i'm not giving it 5 stars is because like other have reported ,it does have a lot of sharp edges.. I spent maybe an hour on it taking the edges off so as not to cut my hands while handling the vice . but it does close nice and the sliding end of the vice is nice and tight and clamps up square ..the graduations on the swivel base are accurate and well embossed .. I would buy again ..

Great vise for a drill press.

To get the negatives out, the only ones are that on of the washers needed for it was missing (1 of 4) and some of the corners are quite sharp That being said this is a solid purchase. There’s no slop in the jaw, solid cast iron handle for it and on contrary to what some reviews said, the T bolts that came with it fit perfectly for my mill based on what I needed for it. 10/10. The pricing is great too considering something similar from SHARS is 600 bucks or more.

My vice arrived and I mounted to my Clausing 8520 and it fits the size of the mill perfectly. The vice did arrive with less than ideal packing from the manufacturer, I hope that gets addressed, I needed to take a sharpening stone to the bottom to clean up the surface but it cleaned up nicely and no issues as a result. Overall I’m pretty pleased and for the price it seems like a decent hobby vice. I’ll update this review as I use it more.

Well made and beefy. There is no marking to zero your protractor. There are no slots cut in the bottom of the protractor, for the locator keys. Bottom line, it is a decent vise for a bargain shopping home machinist. It's no where near KURT quality, but neither is the price.

Sadly, the item description doesn't give you the basic dimensions of the vice... Circular Base Diameter 10 1/2" Bolt (2) Center 9 1/4" Frame Length 14" Frame Width 6 3/4" Bed Width 4 7/8" Height To Top Of Jaw 5 5/8" Max Jaw Opening 6" Jaw Width 5" Jaw (From Bed) Height 1 5/8" Very nice vise for the money. Too big for my little mill. Packing was horrible. Hole punched in end of box. Blue metal shards inside turned out to be manufacturing scraps. No damage to vise Bed and jaws are milled very nicely. Wish I had a bigger mill...

Quality was not what I expected

Sehr gute Qualität

Acquistata per una piccola fresatrice. Sono molto soddisfatto sia della qualità che della chiusura.

This vice is well made, I was surprised at the quality you get for an economical price. I did remove the swivel base so I have more Z axis room on my small milling machine.

rapport qualité prix tres bien , la manivelle aurais un blocage a ressort sur l axe de l etau la manivelle ne tomberais pas

Excellent! Costaud et somme toute bien fini pour une importation, pourvu que ça dure ! Faudrait bien que l'on copie.
