  • 3" XY vise some filing needed
Size: 3in
This is good for the money. You will need to file the inner edges (triangle file worked best) where the pieces slide together to get rid of the slop in the assembly (maybe 45minutes). Also, I had to remove both of the threaded rods and tap them a few times with a hammer because they were slightly bent. After that, it was perfect. ... show more

  • Better than expected for the price
Size: 4in
I wasted too much time reading reviews on these budget cross slides and finally landed on this one. I didn't want to wait over a week for a $60 one to ship to me (and potential 3rd party return issues) and a $150 one was not in the budget for my needs, so this one seemed like the best of the worst according to the reviews (lol). Based on the reviews, I was prepared to completely disassemble to file & lube to make it run smooth but upon receiving I was pleasantly surprised and thought I would give it a go without doing all that. Once bolted to my drill press, I sprayed the contact points and threads with lube & tightened the slide shims a bit and it was good to go and worked smooth enough for my needs to complete an 80% lower. It did a good job. My only gripe is there is about a 1/8th of a turn slack in the crank which doesn't make it overly precise and has some take-up before it turns the other direction. *Think of it like a little bit of slop/play in a car's steering wheel. However, this is to be expected from a budget Chinese made vise. I have a label maker that I plan to label the turn directions (left-right, forward-back). I also purchased a set of orange plastic vise jaws to protect projects. Overall, a 4.5 star product; I am pleased. ... show more

  • Bad Design
Size: 5in
1. The main screw is not center aligned for the top movement. So when the top moves closer to the center, where the top moves closer to the (casting) nut of the bottom, the main top screw misalignment makes it more angularly away from the center line, and hence the top movement cannot be safely moved any further to the center, even though there is distance available distance. We better stop the top movement at a safe place not too near the center, else there will be permanent damage done on the top's cast nut, due to the misalignment getting more pronounced at closer distances. I had to augment a wooden spacer between the top jaws, in order to hold something to be right below the drill. 2. The bottom alignment is another bad story. the cast nut for the bottom is a peg that is really not having enough metal in its cubic dimension. Dont know why they couldnt have made it a larger cube. The small cube nut is threaded so close to one side of the cube, in an attempt to correct the center alignment here as well. The cube nut is attached to the top platform using just a peg in a socket method, and that peg is so so loose in the socket itself. If you attempt to overhaul and remove all and put back all, then remember the direction of the cube nut in its socket. It is off centered, and if you put the cube nut the wrong way, it will cause more and more mis alignment. 3. There is also a rotation play on the bottom main screw, before the bottom even starts moving this way or that way. The center misalignment problem is there in this screw/cubenut as well. probably thats why that cube nut peg is kept so loose in socket so that it doesnt break when user moves the mis aligned main screws. The object holding jaw is another story. 4. The fixed half of the jaw doesnt come any where near to the center where the drill bit comes down. so, if you really want to drill something small, you are out of luck unless you augment the gap with some additional stuff along with the object, in order to get the object held under the drill bit. 5. The top screw tightening is showing resistance at one side, for every turn of the handle. this means the main screw of the top is bent. It can be very well noticed if we look at the handle holding support plate area, while we turn the handle. the handle and the main screw is rotating eccentrically, indicating that the main screw is bent with respect to the cast nut. 6. The top movement handle will start hitting the bottom's friction setting screws as the top approaches the center. They have used friction screws that are longer than necessary. smaller length screws could have prevented this, but before this, they have to first fix the mis alignment in order to even allow the top to go closer to the center. 7. Packaging is absolutely foolish. Dont know why they are trying to save thermocoal materla. The item was packed diagonally, with the most important main screw almost touching the thin sheet of the packing box itself. there is only about 1/2 mm of thermocaol in the corner. and thats where the handle screw is ending. The one I received has already taken bad hit on the corner, and the main screw end where it becomes the handle screw was already damaged on its handle screw thread. I had to re thread that part of the main screw in order to fit the handle and its nut. They have to revisit their design. they have to re-position the cast nut for correct alignment, do appropriate corrections on the handle holder plate for center alignment, increase the cast nut cube volume for the bottom nut, more quality control on the main screw bends, increase the dimensions of the packing material and box. The castings of the top and bottom was otherwise not sufficient. ... show more

  • If you aren't willing to roll up your sleeves, find a more expensive option
Size: 4in
Yes, several other lukewarm reviews are fairly spot-on. The very first thing I did to this vise upon receipt was to try it out, and confirm that it was as clunky as other reviews said. (Very much so. It was almost unusably rough, and the movements were difficult--nearly impossible---to turn without backing off the jib screws, and even loosening the screws near the crank) I then disassembled it to try to improve! I pulled every main piece apart. The first thing I noticed was that the ways were very rough, as well as being warped from bad castings, and **several drill holes** were SEVERELY misaligned. This one looked like it was drilled by hand, folks. I proceeded to file flat and gently smooth the ways (dovetails first, then beds--25 min) and took the jibs to a flat grinding stone to flatten and smooth (3 min) . The jibs have a rough, non-centered hole drilled in one end to grab one of the adjustment screws, so it won't slide out of the dovetail. On the largest (we'll call X) axis--the base piece, the Acme screw passes through a block that pins to the movement above it by a 1/2" (appx) cast pin. This block is not square--not a 90 on it-- and the pin had a nasty casting leftover artifact on the end. The pin was round--it'd been ground or lathed clean enough to fit. The whole block, however--did NOT line up with the bore of the Acme screw from one end of the main base casting! This made the action very rough, obviously. I saw three courses of action. 1) fabricate a new block out of delrin, etc. Could not do because I can't tap Acme with my existing tools. 2) Drill a new hole for the pin inline with the Acme screw. It may mess up the overall throw of the way, but I may yet use this option. 3) Leave the screws holding the crank/Acme to the base casting REALLY loose. YEP! It worked. Next, the Y-axis. One of the jibs would not lie flat. I needed an additional 5-minutes of file work to fix what I hadn't really done right earlier. Once completed, the jib would sit in the dovetail with the screw slightly exposed to hold. The drillings that hold the Acme for the Y-axis were also misaligned, but not nearly so badly as the holes on the X. That said, the drillings that held the Acme-to-casting plate were far enough off that if both used, the crank wouldn't turn. So, I could only install one. I could redrill/tap in another spot on the plate, but I have a feeling that it will be fine. The vise itself was actually fine. It's a chrome plated screw, and moved very cleanly. Once I had greased and re-assembled the vise, movement was better, if not "precise." The adjustment screws were set, and the wing-nutted screws provided solid lockup, so there was no worry of wiggle. There are metered markings on the X/Y crank and plate, but using a micrometer to show how much movement each measured didn't prove insightful--they gave no meaningful meter in either metric or english. ... show more
