Irwin Tools Drill Press Vise, 4", 226340

As Described

perfect

I was delighted when I got this. I discovered that Irwin had nought Record brand vises, and this is basically a Record drill press vise. The leading Canadian brick and mortar store offers a generic vise that looks cheaper, for more money than this. Excellnt deal and great quality.

Brilliant quality. Works like a dream!

I don't know how consistent the quality control on these Chinese made vises is, but the one I got is well made and worked fine. The blue finish was very uniform and appeared to be thick enough to provide good rust protection- the exposed metal areas should be wiped down with a slightly oily rag to keep them from rusting after handling. I did have to adjust the hold down screws on the bottom of the sliding jaw to tighten it up slightly so it was not too loose but still moved easily. The screw that opens and closes the moveable jaw attaches to the center of the jaw, so whatever you clamp in the jaw should at least have a part of it be in line with the center of the jaw so that the work is clamped parallel to the fixed jaw. Compared to other drill press vises, the price for this one seems very reasonable. All in all, a very good product and highly recommended with the only caveat being the consistency of the product quality control.

Lots of deburr to do. Overall well made. the jaw has little play. 2 thumb ups.
