Description
Palmgren's 3-inch cross vise accurately moves the work in two directions along the X and Y axis to provide quick and accurate placements. This is also ideal for positioning from one machine location to another without losing squareness or alignment. This also makes work piece positing faster, easier, and more accurate. The cross slide vise gets its strength from the 30,000 PSI tensile strength, fine grain cast iron construction. Built on the same cross-slide base as Palmgren's cross-slide tables, precision and ease of use are the main focuses of their cross vise. Feed screws are precision cut Acme threads and the cross slide vise can easily be converted to a traditional vise by simply removing two screws and the base. The dials are graduated in 0.001 inch increments for accuracy while the counter-balanced steel ball crank handles easily clear the table for efficiency and simplicity when working.

Expensive, but well worth it.
The Palmgren 30301 cross slide vise demonstrates the truth of the adage that "You get what you pay for." Its made in the US and the workmanship and quality of all parts are evident. As another reviewer noted, the item comes well packaged. It was in a thick cardboard, double box with double plastic straps around it. All this is a plus given the weight of the vise and the always present danger that someone will drop the package. On un-packing the vise I found that the crank handles were reversed to prevent possible damage during shipping. (They are easily put right by removing the acorn nut and changing the direction.). The vise fit well on the table of my 12-inch bench top drill press and can be easily attached with 3/8 bolts and "t" nuts. The vise jaws are well machined, and there is no wiggle in the closing jaw as you tighten it toward the fixed jaw. I definitely would not remove the vise from the X/Y axis table and try to use it on stand-alone tasks. The bottom of the vise is finely ground and dents or dings may ruin accuracy or make it difficult to fit the vise back on the ways and the gib. The X and Y cross slides move smoothly with no play (gib adjustment screws on the side are accessible and would take care of any problem.) I have only one complaint: turning the crank on the cross slide under the vise is very stiff. (This seems due to with the bearing/washers in the handle. I attempted to adjust the gibs but this didn't solve the problem. I will try to call Palmgren and ask if there is a way to adjust the screw assembly.) I tested the accuracy of the handle increment collars (using a dial indicator against the moving cross slide) and both X and Y axis were within .001-002 over .500 of an inch compared to the dial indicator. At 3 inches the vise is a little smaller than the common 4-inch models, but this doesn't seem to limit it. I work with metals and found the vise rigid when drilling a 3/8 hole in steel. Given the size of the vise, however, I doubt that it is suitable for milling in a milling machine. (And certainly not to try to mill in a drill press.) In sum, the 30301 far exceeds in quality anything made in China or India. I had a Harbor Freight 4-inch cross slide vise that I struggled with for years to try to make accurate with no success. Sure, its only $40, but it doesn't work. Its forty dollars wasted. Although, the 30301 is expensive at $380, this price on Amazon is far less then $530 to $645 Enco or MSC charge for the same item. Kudos to Palmgren for its product and to Amazon for its fast delivery and great price.

Poor quality control - questionable design
Handles drilled and tapped off-center - both wobble and bind. Bottom stage has excessive slop - can be moved by hand over 1/32 inch. The stage handles on the Palmgren 32 Cross Vise are shipped reversed, so I removed them to turn them around and noticed that the ones on the unit I received do not spin very smoothly - they wobble and bind in the rotation. They are attached to the handle shaft with a machine screw, which is tapped directly into the end of the handle knob. This means that the screw and screw-head are the principle bearing surfaces - with not even a washer to help. Cheap!! Removing the screw revealed that the screw holes were drilled off-center and slightly off parallel, which accounts for the wobble and binding. Very poor millwork and quality control!! I have photos, but did not see an option for including them in this review, The movable vise jaw moves smoothly and appears to be very parallel with the fixed jaw. The top stage is stiff to move, but has little noticeable lash, and stays fixed when moved. The bottom stage, however, has significant lash - about of a quarter turn to reverse direction - and lots of slop! You can move the bottom stage by hand nearly a 1/32 of an inch. Normally, I would have disassembled the vise at this point to see if I could tighten up the lower stage and smooth out the upper stage. I could also probably figure out a way to make the handles work better. But, at this point I had reached my limit. I will be sending this vise back. I have a Chinese-built Wilton cross vise that I have used for several years. It is not particularly tight or precise, but with a little patience can get the job done. I purchased the Palmgren based on the glowing reviews and expecting a much more precise and accurate tool, one that would require much less fuss and cross-checking to work with. At several times the cost of the Wilton, I do not see any significant improvement - and the handles, at least, are actually quire inferior to the Wilton. I can only guess that something dramatically bad has happened in the manufacturing process at Palmgren. Perhaps these are all made in China now?

Well Made Cross Vise
I ordered this cross slide vise for use on my drill press (bench top Jet JDP-15M). So far I am very pleased with the perormance of this tool. It is very well made with excellent fit and finish. All of the working surfaces appear to be precicion ground. You will need to spend some time cleaning the vise when you get it becuase it is covered with a preservative grease. Backlash in the lead screws appears to be about .005. There is no way to adjust this out, so you will have to compensate for it during use. So far this tool has improved my accuracy with the drill press by a factor of about 10. I can easily locate drill points to within one or two thousandths of an inch. When drilling holes you will want to purchase a set of center drills (About $25) to accurately provide a start for the twist drills, otherwise the twist drill will "walk" and you will give up some of the accuracy you have paid for with this vise.

review 30301 3 " cross slide vise
I went thru 2 vise purchases and returns before spending the bucks on this vise. Any of the low end stuff is chi-com junk and is poorly made and has big tolerances making them hard to adjust on a drill press if of course you want accuracy. My ENCO purchase had a frozen jaw, my other purchase was a low end Palmgren made by the chi-coms and weighed 82 lbs, too big and heavy for my Delta drill press. The 30301 Palmgren is USA made, you will know because even the cardboard box is high quality. It is machined to extremely high tolerances and has no gear lash in either direction. It's 25 some pounds and fits nicely on the drill press table. You pay for the close machining but to me it it worth it. I'm sick of chinese crap. And great service from Amazon as always.
