Precision Milling Drilling Machine Clamping Review

I use this with my mini grinder and it fits the bill perfectly. While the bolsters appear to be well constructed and work well, the handle is a rough piece of sand cast with a heavily textured black paint finish. The first thing I did was sand off all the paint and rough surfaces because that was annoying. But given the price, it was a minor thing. I'm not a precision engineer so can't comment on accuracy or jaw alignment, but this works well.

Vise jaws raised from vise guides approximately 2mm on one side only. They did this so that the jaws were somewhat perpendicular to each other. The jaws will also show off center even when zeroed with a dial indicator (0.001 inch concavity) from start to finish. Deep and numerous scratches on the bottom. Most of them didn't bother me too much, but the vise jaws raised so far are just unacceptable. I have several of these vises of various sizes and none are perfect, but they do the job for my…

I have this for my Bridgeport router. I doubted the quality but ordered anyway. It's tough, the casting was fine. Mina with a movable jaw had a dent in the upper part, which did not affect the work. I took it apart and mapped it to my surface slab, it was only about . 001 in a corner, otherwise top and bottom are parallel. I scraped the bottom perfectly evenly and then scraped a top corner and all is fine. I made the holes in the fixed jaws deeper and replaced the Chinese bolts with longer…
