Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this cross slide vise by Shop Fox for use on my Ridgid drill press.The vise is fine for holding a piece to simply drill a hole.You are assured the hole is vertical and straight. However, if you want to drill a series of holes in line by using the cross slide travel, I find the holes will not be in line when I finish.
The reason for this is the vise portion is not at a perfect 90 degrees to the transverse travel portion.Worse yet, there is no adjustment to correct the vise to a perpendicular position.
I also wanted to use the vise to make slots and mortises by using a center cutting end mill in the drill press.However, with the vise not being perpendicular, the slot will be out of line by almost a 1/16" after about 8" of travel.
My opinion is if you only want to drill a hole or two, this is a good economical vise.If you want quality and precision, spend the money to buy a really good cross slide vise.
