WEN 434TV 4.25-Inch Industrial Strength Benchtop and Drill Press Tilting Angle Vise

the best vise. i highly reccomend

good

This tilting vise was better quality than I was expecting. It locks tight and did not come loose when I was using it to hold a piece of 1/4 inch thick steel that I had to cut. The price was reasonable and with free Prime shipping it was a good value to me.

I bought this vice to use on a rolling cart for odd jobs like sharpening mower blades outdoors. It's very well built and moves in all the right directions to allow perfect access to the angle of the blade edges. It's heavy enough to stay in place without being bolted down for these lighter jobs too.

I bought this - reluctantly - only because some of the tools used in watch-making actually use a vise as their base. I'd been making do just fine but got annoyed one evening when a tool kept moving and thought, "I'm old enough to own a vise"My feelings about vises was that it's one of those things that once you own, you're officially old and cannot go back to being young.I'm glad I picked this up.... For the price it's well built, sturdy and seems dependable. I've used it enough since buying it that I'm kicking myself for not having bought one years ago

Although this is advertised as a drill press vise I use it for milling. The only shortcoming as a milling vise is that the base perimeter is not machined making it a bit more difficult to set it up squarely on the milling table. One day I will mill the edges square and fix that issue. It is certainly accurate enough for my needs as long as I don't rely on the "approximater gauge". I use and electronic level to set angles for all my milling operations. I am very pleased with the grip this vise has for milling (and no jaw lift) and it has no sloppiness in the mechanism. It's not perfect but I gave it 5 stars anyway as it is better than I expected from a simple angle drilling vise and I am using it beyond its intended purpose.

I had bought this item on a whim, attracted by the tilting base. Thought that I'd use it once in a blue moon, but instead ended up using it a fair bit for all sorts of clamping tasks. It's a nice size for holding smaller stuff, but secure enough for also holding larger items. The feature that I use it rarely for, as it turned out, was the tilting function --- but that feature also works nicely!
