Well the Fed Ex Santa came by this a m with my vice. Kinda neat how they incorporated the other clamp to use on a bench at different angles.
I thought it would be a bit beefier but then in my head any DP vice I used in the past was more like a machinist vice made more for metal work.
The way the handle is attached to the threaded shaft seems a bit weak especially when the handle is in the 90* position, I can see that little pop rivet giving out if gorillaed . The end cap on the handle was laying separate in the box, I had to use some super glue to keep it on.
I like the quick release so you dont have to screw/unscrew to move the jaw.
I wished the inner jaws face had a V milled into it both vertically and horizontally.
I wont be able to use the hold downs since I am an ER man and greenie. They are up for grabs. Oops just checked them out on my router table T track, they fit, so I will keep them for that when I make up a jig for that.

The Greatness officially starts
Greenie, Grayling, SS stand alone BS and BS SPT, jointer and belt sander, 3 Ers with Speed Changers. I think those 3 cover my ER needs, and space for them.

Re: SS Drill Press Vice

I got the old SS drill press vise back around 1986 when I got my SS 510.
