This heavy-duty woodworking vise from Wilton has a front jaw that pivots 10 degrees to allow for clamping irregularly shaped parts. The front jaw moves up to 9/16 inch to act as a full-length dog, and the pivot jaw can be removed for wider clamping requirements. Mounting instructions are included.

Installed yesterday and was disappointed with the stiffness of the mechanism. What really irritated me was that the non-marring inserts for the jaw did not come already drilled to match the holes in the jaws nor was a template provided for this or for the mounting of the vise. Get real, for this amount of money, this should be standard. I was expecting much better attention to detail from Wilton.

A woodworking vise is very different from the standard machinist vise found on many garage workbenches. My new Wilton woodworking vise is able to grip work firmly, without marring the wood or allowing it to shift. This is a heavy vise, built for endurance, so installation was a challenge, but well worth the extra effort. I expect this will be the last woodworking vise I will need to purchase.

This thing is all slop, from the trivial: the handle bumpers being too big, to the serious: the screw cover/slide tilts down a 1/16"The magnetic jaws don't stay put, but it's not due to the strength of the magnets (I added neodymium magnets and it still slid all over the place) There's not enough friction between the two surfaces.The handle is junk; it's too short, the loose bumpers, the metal makes an irritating noise.Ugly casting flaws.I generally find Taiwanese tools comparable to US made, Wilton just insisted on cutting too many corners. For $270 I expected better.Also worth mentioning is that only the pivoting part of the moving jaw can be used as a dog. The marketing made it seem as though the whole front jaw moved up.You should expect to put in some time getting it in shape, but it can be brought up to par.

Great vise that is well built. This is my tail vise on my work bench. I think paying extra for the 10 inch wide faces is worth the money for decades of use. Nice color and ease of use. I'll be installing a Yosec five-arm gun vault handle on this vise.

So overall its an ok to good vise but for $600 CND I was expecting premium. It has some casting flaws and lacks the premium look and feel I.M.O.

The device arrived properly packed and undamaged in shipment. Installation was reasonably easy. I dismounted my bench top, turned it over and lag-bolted the vice into place. After replacing the bench top on the supports, I tried several different kinds of holding tasks. Compared to my old vice, the vice holds much better and doesn't require cranking the jaws down hard.Cons:. The wooden jaw facings. The magnetic backing is a nice idea but the grip is too weak, and the facings slide around some while placing or removing work pieces in the jaws. I don't know how much the vise is marked up because these are added, but I would not buy them separately.. Action is generally good, but the specific implementation does not permit simply cranking the vice closed on a piece, or at least that's my experience. The quick-release is used to both open and close the jaws with the handle turned only slightly. This would not be an issue without the magnetic jaw facings. Trying to position a piece, which may displace the magnetic facings is a bit irksome. The solution is to make your own facings and fasten them to the jaws, which are equipped with threaded holes for that purpose.

The best quality. I have three in my shop -- the others have been in use for 25+ years. I could recall no problem with previous installations. I have no clue what the fuss is about installation. Mine was in - and working - in 8 minutes !Drill 4 holes through 3 inches of workbench. Place the carriage bolts thru holes. Support the new vise on a bench or big box under the workbench, and add shims under the vise until the vise is up --- where is is to be attached. Place nuts on end of carriage bolts. THAT'S IT. You certainly don't need 2 people. Like I said, 8 minutes. I timed it because of the comments about difficulty of installation. It's heavy because it's made of steel, and it needs support under it before you could possibly get a nut on a carriage bolt, but it's easy using shims to raise it into proper location. Your grand kids will use this vise. Excellent quality.AY

Awesome vice. Sturdy and very solid. Well made. The quick release feature works well. The outer jaw contains a second jaw that pivots to allow you to clamp objects of uneven width. This also pops up to serve as a dog. I removed this second jaw because, when its in place, it's very difficult to clamp a piece of wood on just one side of the lead screw. But I can see myself using it for non-parallel clamping jobs. Comes with the magnetic maple pads as shown; these are a nice idea but they move around quite a bit as the magnets are not super-strong. I will replace these with the screw-in kind (there are holes for mounting). It's heavy, so definitely turn your bench upside down to mount. Only negative thing is that the cheap tinfoil brand tag fell off, but I can live with that.

This vise works great!Was a little concerned first by the price and then the size but once it was installed and operational on my new 72"x 30"x 1.75" bench top, was glad I spent the extra bucks.Installation was cake. It likes to see 3" of bench thickness so I had to make a shim from some maple cut-offs.The weight of of this thing at 35 Lbs feels like a ton when your trying to hold it in place while threading the cap screws for mounting... you may wanna get some help.The quick release allows quick position of the jaws to the work and works very well. Everything lines up and the template works well. The pivot jaws works great for odd shapes (like a guitar neck). This is a good vise.
