If you close your vise for the first time, it will close evenly across the jaws, however after a while it will rack. In this situation, the clamping pressure is not evenly distributed between the jaws because you are clamping things to one side and not providing an even distribution. Stacking can also occur if the pressure is too high. As most woodworkers do not use a second spacer to even out the clamping pressure on their vises, this is the norm on most. I think a perfect world would be one where we would always clamp at the center of the jaws, and only use enough pressure to hold the work piece, and never hammer on our woodworking vise. But that doesn't exist, does
That is what I did to my and it worked With some 2x4s and 4x8s, I built my own workbench. This style is similar to butcher block. The table vise was not attached where the table was going to sit. I used 2 pieces of 1x oak I had around the shop and cut out an upside down U from the oak with about an inch left up top, same shape as the back of the table vise. On top of that I slipped a piece of oak cut from the oak so you couldn't see the metal part of the vice and another piece of oak on top of that to cover the back. I then slid the screw part of the front into place. The front of the cabinet was framed with two pieces of 1x oak. Several improvements have been made! It looks and works fantastic I would like to add a photo to these posts, but cannot find the option. It's my fault.
After I installed it, I did not see any “made in” stamp anywhere to indicate that it was made by an American company. I'm guessing it was assembled in the United States from foreign
The size of this movie poster is 71/4 inches by 3 1/2 inches. The vise was lowered 2 inches, some 3/4 Baltic birch plywood faces were added, and the vise was enlarged to 10 1/2 inches wide and 5 1/2 inches Exactly how I like it.

In searching for a new vice for my recently completed and inspired Paul Sellers workbench, I spent months researching. Although I was tempted to buy an old Record vice on eBay, I was hesitant about spending over $200 for a rusty project. Because I had used and owned my Wilton vice for several years, I wanted to make a "Record clone" quickly and easily. If you release the vise, as Paul suggests, it will eventually loosen. As for my vice, I decided to select this York vise, the current Record vise, and the Eclipse vise. I recently found an online snippet in which Mr. Sellers warned against purchasing the current model of the Record due to problems he had encountered. As fair as it is, he also cautioned against the York vise due to problems he had with his woodworking class that used those I found that the Eclipse was my favorite, but I was left wondering, "is it really worth double the price?" The York's reviews were diverse, but overall, they seemed more positive than negative. I would not mind spending $200 on a vise that I will use for twenty There was a certain amount of negative feedback on every vise brand. When I decided to return this vise if it delivered in a horrible condition, or if I found the jaws weren't aligned, or the screw mechanism or quick release were cheap I decided just to do After passing the initial audition, it was able to move on to the next round. For the last two weeks, I have been using the York vise almost daily. There is parallel positioning of the jaws and it latches It is great to be able to quickly release the jaw and also to be able to back off the jaw a half turn, both with the ability to reposition the work piece and to tighten I have never experienced anything like this before! With this style of vise, you can back off the jaw as well as with my Wilton vise, but you cannot back off the jaw with this vice. With the Wilton vise, you have to turn the lever counter-clockwise to release the jaw. Reach down and grab the entire face and pull it back one or two turns counterclockwise. Once you've reengaged the turn screw, you turn the handle clockwise one or two turns. The time is 2 p. m. Three times the amount of effort is required for every action. Paul is wise in his recommendation of a vise with this type of mechanism. It is definitely more efficient. For now, I'm going to give it a solid rating of There can only be one winner and only time will tell if it will be I recommend a grade of 5 or above. Can you please explain why you only gave The definition of machining is simple it's about In addition to receiving the vise, I placed it on some shop towels and used mineral spirits, denatured alcohol, and an old toothbrush to remove grease from the main screw. I like how well caked it is with grease and how smooth it feels. The grease and sawdust will not only harm the vise over time, but I had read a post from another York vise owner, who told of the amount of metal shavings he found embedded in the factory grease, which caused his cast iron vise nut to wear out sooner. I degreased the main screw and bar guides thoroughly, applied some paste wax liberally, and worked it in with a vise many times. After buffing the clean towel, I applied more paste wax liberally. It is possible to see the machining of the main screw in this way. I have taken several photos of the threads, and you can see that they appear to be galled. It may have been either the tooling was not as sharp as it could have been or the metal itself wasn't as strong as it could have been. The screws were not tight enough after a few days, though I do not know if it was a bad batch. The vice travels smoothly, locks up tightly and only time will tell how long the guts will last. Maybe overtime this roughness will disappear but I thought I should mention it since you won't see it until you clean off the grease, and I doubt many guys will clean it Finally, I will close with a final thought. Initial thoughts were to get a 10 inch vise. Most of the models that open to a 10 inch length open to 5+ inches more than the ones that open to a 9 inch length. Using my Wilton vise I can open it up to 5 inches It is 6 inches greater than the width of my 9-inch York vice. When I think back to my past work, I found that I had never opened the Wilton more than 3/4 of the way. With that being said, I think going with the 9 inch model makes a lot of sense, especially considering the price. Once you add the vise jaws, you have enough capacity for the majority of work I will The end of my novel has been reached.
You can place your work bench on a 5" thick area. In the case of heavy vises, I suggest installing them upside down, but I was able to mount mine underneath by pre-installing two lag bolts so they could be slid horizontally so their heads supported it loosely so clamps could hold it in place. help your vise bear on the work bench. I cut two 3/4" thick boards that were 4x12" and drilled and screwed to jaws with #10 wood screws. It is customary for people to cut out part of the front of the bench so that the groove of the back jaw is flush with the front of the bench Considering that I am not hand planning clamped wood or doing other rigorous work to it, I decided not to bother. The bulk of my work is assembly and sanding. To finish, mount the vise such that the tops of the jaws are flush with the surface of the table and screw the wood jaws flush with the surface of the table so nothing sticks out except the 1" high built-in dog. The bench can be clamped to the table or floor with a variety of things by drilling a row or two of 3/4" holes (not included). So far, this operation has been great, although there has been quite a bit of rapid action. Buying it is a good idea!.
This wasn't cheap at all! I can't believe I paid only 100 bucks for it! Various methods can be used to install this vise, but I think mine is the best one. It was important for me to have my workpiece flush with the entire face of my bench, so as you can see from my pictures, I buried the vise into For the bench, I did not laminate the outer board, but instead screwed it to a solid board and hid the screws. In order to keep the outer board from wearing out, I am spending money on it. Hardwood is probably what I will replace it with. My vise was already mounted before I built the bench, so it was easy to mount. If you try hard enough, you will succeed. Smoothly turns and releases, both when turning and when releasing quickly. The thickness of my bench is 3 1/2 inches, which makes this vise ideal for it. My aunt asked me to help her build a bench for her shop. I also added some pictures. My recommendation led to the use of this vise. It's double 3/4 sdf, which means I had to mount a block under there to attach the vice. I had to make sure the block was exact. It also works on her bench. People will continue to get a kick out of this vice.
It arrived the same day and was installed that A well-made and highly functional product. This vise replaced a 3" vise that had seen much use but was poor representation of a wood vise. I followed the precise and brief instructions provided in the I have had good luck with quick releases. Knowing there was such a thing early on would have made me purchase one sooner. Opening and closing a vise can be accomplished in one movement. As long as the vise is closed, the handle remains vertical after installation of wooden faces of 1/2 inch each. Despite the fact that the box was a bit damaged, the delivery was prompt and in great condition. The new vise and bench I bought sit on a wall table and probably weigh over 60 pounds combined. It was a bit of a hassle to take the bench off and turn it over to mount the vise. I then had to pick it up and place it into the mounting holes, so I think asking for help is very important.
The quick-release feature makes the vise very easy to use, but there is no easy way to attach wooden jaws to the vise. There are four holes, but none are Taping the holes with a metric M7 1 didn't yield any results. Despite the 0 pitch tap, the metal is too soft to accept the M7 bolts, so I had to strip the threads the first time I attached some 3/4-inch I planed an old stained end grain cutting board up to the correct thickness for a flush installation of the vise and used galvanized 1/2" lag bolts and washers to attach the vise to my Gladiator workbench. It is difficult to predict the price of this vise, and I paid the highest price back in March at twice the price it is at now.
