Review on TEXALAN Milling Machine Lockdown Vise by Cody Stroop

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Value for money so far

I bought a 3" router vise for my HF mini router (I have a 4" HHIP and it is really too big) and I saw an $80 Bonat price. I had never heard of them before, but I liked the description and the look of the head. Of course I'd love to buy Kurt's Vise, but... I haven't used it yet, so I'll have to upgrade later. The finish is generally good, with some rough painting, but the head is well ground and the jaws appear firm and regular. There are cheaper vices on the list but I think this was a good choice. This is a real router vise with a mechanism to apply downward pressure on the workpiece when the jaws are locked. Four stars for the price. Four stars for general build quality.

Pros
  • Confidence in your best results with this quality router vise
Cons
  • Do you have doubts
