Description
Remember when you could make fine-tune adjustments with the simple turn of a wheel. The WEN 3.25 in. Cross Vise provides stable support for your workpieces. Perfect for incremental drilling and other precision work. Attach it to your bench top, your drill press, your work table and more. Made from heavy duty powder-coated cast iron, the WEN Cross Vise grips tightly onto your workpieces, providing over 1900 lbs. of clamping force. The 3.25 by 1.25 jaws open up to 3.25 in. W. Make minor adjustments along either axis with the onboard hand wheels. Each hand wheel features machined 0.1 mm increments, each full turn representing 3 mm of travel. The vise moves a full 5.8 in.

The fixed jaw features a V-shaped groove to hold round objects either vertically or horizontally while the removable handles help users easily install the vise into tight spaces.

The Compound Cross Slide Benchtop Drill Press Vise, for the price is a well constructed vise that helps me turn my drill pressinto a small hobby milling machine. The assembly was extremely easy and with a little ‘tweeking’ of the slide guides and lightlubricant, the vise became to exact tool I needed to complete my task. I had to do a little improvising on the base mounting,but that was my preference. Good vise that I would recommend without hesitation.

This vise was exactly what I was looking for, and it works just like it is supposed to. And at a great price.

This is a very nice cross slide vise for the price. It is not too big as to take up a lot of room when not in use which is s plus. I mounted this to my 15 inch drill press, thinking I could use it to help accurately lay out holes when drilling, which it will do. I decided to try using it to turn my press into a milling machine. whit the right milling cutter i was able to put a 90 degree edge on some angle i had cut with a hack saw, as well as drill slotted holes in the same angle iron. you need to take your time but the vise worked beautifully. for the price you will not go wrong

Pretty happy with this vise, you need to do some adjusting, and lubrication to get smooth movement,but for the price it’s accurate enough for me. There’s no slop once you get it adjusted and the markings on the handles are actually pretty accurate.

Requires some cleanup and tweaking, but an excellent value to add precision x-y to a drill press
