Review on 🔧 Enhance Your Precision Work with Palmgren 30301 32 Cross Slide by Anuj Mierzejewski

I ordered this Cross Vise for my drill press (Desktop Jet JDP-15M). So far I am very satisfied with the performance of this tool. It is very well made with excellent fit and finish. All work surfaces are polished. You will have to spend some time cleaning the vise when you receive it as it is covered in protective grease. The play in the lead screws is approx. 0.005. There's no way to adjust this, so you'll have to compensate for this while using it. So far this tool has improved the accuracy of my drill press by about 10x. I can easily pinpoint drilling points to within a thousandth of an inch or two. When drilling holes, you must purchase a center drill bit set (about $25) to ensure an accurate start for the twist drill bits, otherwise the twist drill bit will "run" and you'll lose some of the accuracy that you get with that bit have paid.
