  • Needed some user adjustment
Style: 3-Inch Vise
I had to reset the set screw that holds the handle and loosen slightly the two screws above it so it would slide easier. Biggest issue was the need to thoroughly lubricate all of the parts that are involved in movement: the screw itself and all parts that slide. It took several cycles of WD-40, 3-IN-1 Oil and a a high quality synthetic grease until I could achieve acceptable movement. Once that was done, however, the jaws closed nicely in alignment and it was a near perfect fit for the table on my Craftsman 5 inch drill press. ... show more

  • Great Value for the Money
Style: 3-Inch Vise
I adjusted the two socket head screws on the bottom of the vice a tiny bit and the jaw moved more smoothly. The WEN 3" drill press vice is the right size for the WEN 4206T benchtop drillpress. Given the price, it is an excellent value for the money.

  • Overall Decent
Style: 4-Inch Vise
Overall, this vise is decent and does hold the work when properly mounted on your drill press. On a smaller drill press you will have to mount it at 45 degrees to use it properly, but that really doesn’t matter if your drilling round holes and it actually makes it slightly easier to use once you get used to it. The only real problem with this vise is the handle. It feels cheap, is kinda wonky and is far from a pleasure to operate. I will be modifying mine to make it more efficient and comfortable. ... show more

  • 3" fits my 8" harbor freight and the price is right
Style: 3-Inch Vise
The 4" are too big for my 8" harbor freight drill press, so the 3" was, almost, perfect. I only paid $80 on closeout for the drill press so couldn't justify getting a $40-$50 vise, so the price was this one's best feature. Works well. The only problem was the set screw that holds the main screw to the clamp loosened, so the whole main screw came out. Easy fix with some thread lock. ... show more

  • Too big for the 4206T 8 inch bench top drill press
Style: 4-Inch Vise
Too big for the 4206T 8 inch bench top drill press but I think there was already a review stating that but I didn’t read it before purchasing. Returned to Amazon and purchased the 3”. Otherwise it’s probably just fine.

  • Best value on Amazon as if writing, tons of utility and surprisingly good finished product!
Style: 2017 Model
TLDR at bottom. Crazy old man review below. Not sure what "shearness" is in relation to a low profile vise... but it is sufficiently short and a great value for a 4 inch (101.6mm) wide, low profile drill press vise. Unusual for Wen (because this is really a white box item, but assembled/packaged by happy employees, apparently) this vise came with a little too much tension, but was otherwise easily workable out of the box! I did end up disassembling a few minor points like the jaw plates, then cleaning and lubricating everything that I could reach without completely taking it apart. It now glides smoothly, and bites down on my aluminum workpieces without messing up my angles (unlike a competitor's vise, which I had to buy 2 of when this one was out of stock... and those are bleh). I paid almost twenty bucks for my first Wen, and I'm about to pay under fifteen for another in a few seconds... and return two other "similar" products, that were made with much less care than I would have expected, for ten bucks more per item than these Wen vises. This Wen had (almost) all matching hardware, and didn't appear to be assembled by an amateur, unlike the competitor. The Wen also has an open mounting notch on either side, directly between the mounting slots... the others have nothing there. This may sound trivial, but those little extra mounting notches allow for so much more usage around my shop, while the other ones I am returning are basically useless for my various Wen shop tools. The Wen vise will not only fit my 8 inch, 5 speed Wen drill press, but I can also adapt two of these to fit on my Wen 15 amp 10 inch miter saw, instead of using the badly warped fence and useless clamps that came with that saw. Basically, two of these become a fence/clamp system, and will even allow me to go down in size on my saw blades, because my work will be raised 1.25 inches from the original saw table. This is advantageous for several reasons, and figures heavily into me giving these such a glowing review. First, I cut 6061 aluminum ranging from .125 inch thick bars, to 1.5 inch thick bars, and also 6063 t slot extrusion profiles, aluminum spacer tubes, etc. Basically, stuff that requires special blades, lubricant, good clamps, and lower saw RPMs... which my Wen saw is a bit too high on. As long as I am not cutting anything too thick (say, 1 inch x 2.5 inch bar) or using miter cuts/bevels, I could easily find a smaller blade that would effectively spin at lower RPMs than a ten inch blade would, and those smaller blades are often rated for higher RPMs than 10 inch ones are, AND they're cheaper, AAAAAND more widely available many times. So, these allow me to get good results even with a smaller blade than my saw normally takes. Big win. The clamping power of these is also sufficient to hold a thick bar that was being abused by a reciprocating saw, never once vibrating loose, even when I let my arm droop and got some chatter. TLDR; Great value, better than the ones that cost double. Adds great utility to multiple Wen bench tools, including mm1011 miter saw. Be prepared for minimal pre-use asjusting/cleaning/lubing, and enjoy for years (presumably, it's not made of painted cheese I'm pretty sure). ... show more
