Steelex M1038 Quick Vise 🔧 M1036: The Ultimate Solution for Efficient Workholding Review

According to my experience, this product is poorly made and it failed to clamp any workpiece effectively. The only pro I can find is its easy installation. However, the cons outweigh it as the vise jaws are not aligned, the screw mechanism is loose, and the handle wobbles when tightened. I wouldn't recommend wasting your money on this product.

I've used this vise exactly once on my milling machine. I tightened the vise, the threads on the vise had snapped. It took quite a bit of pressure to do that. I would avoid this product.

Slightly smaller than expected but the description is correct. The mounting slots are 1/4" and it comes with small t-nuts and bolts. I think I just assumed it was 3/8", but that doesn't matter. In any case, this isn't a vise for large workpieces so I doubt they are the limiting factor There is always some buoyancy with this type of grip but the tracks are perfectly aligned and as far as I can measure straight Came packaged in an absurd amount of lube.
