Description
The Wilton 78A woodworker's Vise features a metal housing which fully encloses the screw, preventing sawdust and dirt from "gumming" the threads. Not only does this keep the threads clean, but it also increases the life of the vise's rapid-action release mechanism. The front jaw pivots 10 degrees to allow clamping of irregularly-shaped objects, and the entire front jaw can be moved up and locked in place to serve as a full length dog. Jaw width is 4" x 7". Maximum opening is 10". From the Manufacturer This heavy duty woodworking vise has a front jaw that pivots 10-Degree to allow for clamping irregular shaped parts. The front jaw moves up to 9/16-Inch to act as a full length dog. The pivot jaw can be removed for wider clamping requirements. Mounting instructions are included.

My dad was a high school wood shop teacher and had 16 10" wide Wilton vices on 4 large workbenches for his students to use (& abuse). He bought them in the late 1950's and they lasted his whole 35 yr career, plus another 18-20 years after that! Not until the town built a new high school were they replaced, but I bet someone is still using them to this day LOL! I have the 7" ver. of this wonderful vice, now I wish I bought the 10" and I'm going to order one of them as well. I like this new ver. of the vice as it covers up all the vice's threads, which is great, no more fooling around trying to clean them all the time. This vice is VERY well priced, I can't imagine why they don't sell more of them, they are built like a tank & very reasonable to boot. The big advantage to the Wilton vice over other vices is the nifty quick release function, you just have to turn the handle one turn to the left and the front jaw will pull all the way out. When you're ready for the next item to be put it the jaws, just push the jaws in right up to the object and give the handle a couple of turns and it's tight. No lever to hold down nor turning the handle 40 times....it's a great time saver! The jaws come with 2 blocks of hardwood that have a magnet on them so they are removable (see pic) The jaw closest to you can pivot (see pic) and there is a bench dog as well. The vice is very heavy and will most likely need two guys (or gals) to install, we used long reach channellocks to hold up the vice while marking & then drilling & putting in the lag bolts. We had to make the hole a little bigger with a file to get the recommended lags to fit. This is a tool that you shouldn't skimp on, EVERY wood shop needs a good vice! It's a one time, life time purchase that will last for generations. This is not the place to save a few bucks! If you found this review helpful please check the thumbs up, thanks, MikeTheReviewer

Great vise, with solid features. The pivoting fade us great for tapered pieces but just fiddly otherwise. The u-channel rail design is excellent. Sturdy, keeps gunk out of the threads, but best of all it provides more clamping space on the edges of the vise than the more common screw and guide rail designs. The quick release mechanism works great. No preference over the lever release models but I expect this design will hold up better with less to break. The one thing that I don’t like is that the top surfaces of the vise are not flat. That makes it impossible to use the top of the vise as an extension of the bench. Clamping bench accessories into the vise just doesn’t work as well as a machines flat vise. The only other input is that 7” isn’t very wide. 9” would have been better, especially with the advantage of the u-channel. So...a little overpriced, especially the 9” version, rounded top surfaces a drawback. Great vise, but not a great value and not the best if you clamp bench accessories often.

The reviews were correct. Quick delivery, excellent product, clear directions, and the installation was straight forward.. No major problems. I did have to remove some of the sand from the bolt holes which can happen sometimes in a forged piece of metal. The 3/8" x 3" lag bolts were a little tight on the front two bolt holes. No big deal, however, from a quality point of view, I was surprised the inspector did not check the bolt holes. I installed a extra 2"x4" underneath my bench so that the lag bolts had plenty of wood to secure the vise. Next, I located and drilled the pilot holes per the directions. The next step, I installed the rear bolts as suggested to the recommended length. Using a round file, I opened the two front bolt holes so that the lags bolts could be started by hand as stated in the directions. Finally, I used my 1/2" impact gun to tighten the lag bolts and started enjoying the extra pair of hands that I need just about everyday when repairing or building different projects for home or the Thea Bowman Center where I work part-time. I found that the magnetic hardwood pads that came with the vise worked well. However, for the next project I needed to install larger hardwood pads on my vise. I included a picture. Thank you for a great product and quick service.

This product is everything they advertised, and more. Stout and sturdy. Really like the magnetic maple blocks. One feature that I didn’t notice is the operation of the screw. During any type of use, if you back out the screw 1-2 turns the whole moving part of the vise slides freely to any position. Very handy. This is the second Milton vise I’ve bought and I’m duly impressed. Unless you are on a really tight budget, spend the extra money. It’s worth it.

I installed the 63144 vise on a maple workbench that I built over 30 years ago. It is made to bolt directly to the underside of a 3” thick bench. Since my bench is only 2” thick, I milled a piece of maple to 1” thick and glued it to the underside. I chose to flip my bench upside down to install, and Installation was a breeze. The vise is made in China, so fit and finish is not as nice as the old USA made version, and it is also a bit looser. The USA made vises had the embossed WILTON logo, but these have a metallic sticker on the face. Not as cool looking, but it’s a vise not a Rembrandt! The quick release mechanism works great, and the vise is extremely heavy duty. The removable swivel jaw comes in handy once and a while when clamping angled workpieces. The bench dog is a little hard to get a grip on and difficult to adjust. Mine came with the maple jaw inserts, which are lined on one side with a weak sheet of magnetic material. 4 rare earth magnets would be a better choice. The threaded rod is housed in a heavy steel channel, protecting it from grime and debris. I really love this feature. Despite a few negatives, I feel that these are the best 7” bench vises on the market. My level of experience is 40 years as professional and hobbyist woodworker.

Well I hate to be a lemming, but like the others have already said, it's the best wood vise I've seen. Mine even came with the maple/magnetic jaw inserts! I don't think that is normal so call or check before you buy. I must say, I love every thing about this vise. The quick open/shut feature if fantastic, and the weight and quality are superb, the whole jaw face slides up ¾", not just a little tongue like most vises. The pivoting 12° jaw face is very nice and easily removed if desired, but I can't see why you'd ever remove the pivoting jaw face unless you needed the extra 1" opening. I thought installation was a breeze, my workbench was already 1 ½" so I just glued/screwed a 1 ½" block on the bottom where the vise was to go, bought a couple of screws & bolts (as per instructions) and boom, the greatest wood vice known to man is in my shop! I lathered a little grease on the screw before installation, as it is heavy and easier to do while uninstalled. If you want a nice wood vise look no further.

I can’t say enough how much a good quick release vise is absolutely vital in a workshop space. Wilton is by far the best if seen for what I need. First, my shop space is outdoor in an area with high humidity and where everything turns to rust. This vise is coated in every essential way. Handle seems to be aluminum and the vise is mostly covered with a protective coating that’s also clear coated on top of that. I accidentally wiped some off some clear coat with acetone but just recoated with some poly and it’s all good again. The guts of the vise is coated with grease or some sort of lube that keep the parts from oxidizing. Smooth action. Mounted solidly with the shims I made of Baltic birch (pictured) using the provided instructions and the template for the holes. Made a base plate to mount my 4” vise wedging it between a bench dog and the raised face plate (pictured). I use this for metal parts so that I don’t mess up this beautiful Wilton vise. Came with the two magnetic Maple blocks to use with fine wood pieces. When compared to the other options on the market (eclipse, woodcraft, etc.) no other would really work for what I want. These other options have bare metal that would just rust over and look like a mess in this humidity unless cared for every single day. Not worth the time or money for those. But for this Wilton vise, absolutely worth it and with amazon being the seller....WIN - WIN! 5 stars and no less!

I ordered this as one of the vices on a workbench I am building. I was a little worried that the 7" model wouldn't be stout enough, but it really has to be seen to be appreciated. It's made in Taiwan, which has turned out some pretty finessed tools over the last 15 years, and the fit and finish are great. Has a massive acme thread - covered so grease doesn't ruin your work - and includes a chromed handle. I really like the tilting outside jaw. It will be great for holding tapered work, but is removable if needed. It also functions as a full width bench dog. This I a stellar vice, and about $60 less than the 10" model from Wilton. Highly recommended.
