  • Excellent vise that works best if disassembled, cleaned, lubed and adjusted before use
I can echo others' comments about the flimsy plastic bag holding the nuts, but that's a pretty small concern for a vise that will likely last a lifetime. The box arrived surprisingly intact and unbeaten compared to other deliveries in this weight range. Note that the photos on Amazon seem to all show the 3- or 4-inch models. This one, the 8-inch, is a monster by comparison, in both size and weight. However...am I the only one who noticed they shipped it put together backwards? that is, as it arrived, the fixed vise jaw could not be moved over the centerline of the vise, which means I can't drill a hole right next to the edge of the stock, without some other thing there. In any event, I removed the two bolts holding the upper unpainted steel plate the handle spins against. Then I removed the lead screw from the assembly, and lifted up the top half, turned it around, and put it back in. Then I just replaced the lead screw and aligned the plate and secured it back again. Now the left-to-right spinner is on the right, and the vise-jaw screw is on the left, and the (now) right-hand fixed jaw moves all the way under the spindle. Yay! I decided that since Amazon was so kind as to deliver this 78# monster on a Saturday in the pouring Seattle rain, I'd install it right. I cleaned and greased the bottom surface, and secured it to the drill press surface. Then, starting with the bottom-most, I disassembled it, cleaned off their almost watery lubrication and put a medium film of thick oil on the bearing surfaces and the lead screw. I adjusted the bearing-slide set screws to it all moved silky-smooth, and then repeated that for the upper slide, and then for the movable vise jaw. Now it works so smoooooth! I think that's a key factor in making this work well for the long term future ahead: getting it thoroughly cleaned, lubricated and adjusted before trying to use it. So far so good, though I've only had it in use for a day now. Very sturdy, very LARGE and very smooth. Things I wish were better: 1) The knobs and their mating to the shaft. "Precision mating" is not an idea that crossed dear Wilton's mind that day, sadly. 2) The sliding surfaces of the inserts. When you take them out to clean and lubricate, you'll see what I mean: pitted and definitely now what you'd expect when trying to achieve a precision fit. 3) The only surfaces that are "precision machined" is the floor of the vise part. The sliding surfaces are only "machined". You can definitely tell the difference. Again, the vise would be much more accurate if the same level of finish were applied to the slide surfaces. 3) Handle-end of lead screws have NO bearing except steel against the hole in the steel plates. Atrocious choice on a vise of this quality. Just having those two joints improved with an oil-filled bronze or ball bearing would improve the action of this vise 100%. But noooo.....! In any event, despite the suggested changes, this is one very large, very sturdy and very capable vise. It's far smoother than the imported el-cheapo one I had been using. ... show more

  • Not a Bad Vise but Wilton Should Learn How to Pack These
The vise is OK for the money. I've seen a lot worse from off-shore. If Wilton could just learn to LOCK the slide-ways up before shipping it would save a bunch of damage. I'm able to buy these freight damage at about half price mostly on E-Bay and did not buy this one from Amazon. In the picture you can see the damage to the cast end plate and bolts. This is caused from shippers dropping the box and hammering the heavy table against the end plate which then explodes into pieces and sometimes tweaks the shaft as this one did. I was able to put the lead screw shaft in the lathe and straighten it, plus drilling a 1/4" center tap hole to hold the handle on with a locking flange bolt. The end plate I cut on our plasma table and point indexed the holes for drilling and added two new metric bolts. I oiled the shafts and they now turn turn easy and smooth just like new. Then adjusted the slide-ways for a nice easy snug fit. When you figure the weight of these along with shipping costs it sometimes doesn't pay to return them. One shaft kit is about $100 shipped but in my case it's easier to do the repairs. ... show more

  • Not Old Wilton Quality of Past.
It is an okay product. I was surprised with the lack of bushings and the over all build. Not a Kurt but I guess if it was built like things use to be I would not be able to afford it. Just okay is all I can say about it. The packing and shipping on the other had does not get a star at all. The box was soaked and torn when it arrived. It was such a thin box with very little packing. Too little protection for something so heavy. Lost one nut that holds one handle on. Ordered replacement nut form a different supplier (It was metric). ... show more

  • Not as good as I thought for the price
This is a pretty beefy vice so that's the good part, but when it arrived the package of nuts was opened so they spilled all over and could easily have been lost. The threads for the handles where crudely cut off and not re-threaded so you couldn't attach the bolts/handles and I had to manually re-thread them to get it to work. The warranty came in a really thick plastic bag so I wish they had chosen that for the important parts like the nuts that hold things together. There's a good amount of play in the screws, but for my needs and drill press it'll have to do. If given the choice again I'd go with something else. ... show more

  • Made in China BEWARE
A side the missing parts and broken handles and four hours of filing to assemble this contraption and using an immense amount of oil on the rusted metal parts it went together. The shipping of the vise looked like it went thru WW2. For the price it is not worth the cost when you factor the time it takes to assemble and fine tune the kinks and excess rust. ... show more

  • Good deal
Good. Heavy Duty.

  • Well made vise
This is a well made vise. We initially found the left and right handle tight to turn but after locating the adjustment the swivel handle turned easy. Heavy vise that will hold your metal tight while drilling.
