Unexpected craftsmanshop
I was surprised at the good quality of this vise. I have shopped extensively for an affordable vertical vise and settled on this one because of cost and Prime shipping (this puppy is heavy to ship!). The typical Chinese floppy cardboard box around the vise itself was a red flag and my heart sank. But then I opened it! What a sight. This thing is beautiful. It’s well made, tightly constructed and with no play in the moving parts. I do a lot of small metal forging and this is much better than the Bonny Doone vise already in the shop and the jaws are about the same size in area. This vise is completely adjustable with two ways to secure the angles. It has a small footprint on the bench. I’m very happy to have purchased this tool.

Outstanding for the Money
This Wilton 3-Inch Cradle Style Angle Drill Press Vise is great for the price. Very heavy and sturdy, everything operates smoothly with little play. I rate fit and finish as very good to excellent. I would definitely recommend this vise.

1-2 degrees off out of the box
Nice vice but a degree off and pin holes to lock degrees off by 2 degrees. After spending an hour or so indicating, adjusting, and remachining jaw seats she is now precision, but still worth it for the price. Ground the jaws flat, and machined and reamed pin holes to 1/4″, with a new dowel pin for accuracy at 0 and 90 degrees. Scale was still off a degree, but double stick taped on, so carefully removed, cleaned, and adhered back on and now it’s a precision vice within .0003″. Also indicated solid jaw and machined all 4 base sides perfectly perpendicular and square for locating. For a drill press vice it’s probably sufficient, but now it’s a true machinist/tooling angle vice.

Corroded ~Immediately ~ poor quality.
Iâve had good luck with Wilton products in the past, not this one. The jaws corroded in a substantial way less than two days after I installed it on my bench. Never put any corrosive products on it, had never even used it in fact.Yes,, I know it is a drill press vice, but itâs helpful to me for work I often do to have a smaller bench vice with an adjustable axis.Didnât send it back, just cleaned and greased it. Functionally it is OK, but zero use and corrosion in a climate controlled shop in less than 48 hours? Not OK.

Very good (overall and for the price)
Had these for few months now. Work perfect. Smooth, no binding when clamping, no play when clamped. Great for drill press or table-top milling machine (as part of milling table topper). No complaints – great vice. Had a snag when shipment got lost first time around, but seller quickly rectified the issue by shipping another one, so no complaints there. Great seller actually. Ethical.
