Customer Reviews for 5"(125mm) Precision Swivel Rotating Base Bench Vice 125mm Jaw Width Durable 19KN

As many have noted on here, and even YouTube, that for the money, these vises cannot be beat. I am very happy with the 2 I bought. Being able to move the vise jaws (Yes, as others have said, they are sharp!) from inside to the outside expanded their use for me.

Vise is big and does a great job holding material. Mine was missing some hardware when it arrived. Had to purchase separately.

It’s a beefy vice, but has some dents and defects on the machines edges.

I am amazed that this vise is built so heavy. Works great.

For my modest needs, this vice does everything I could have asked for. I am not building a rocket ship so I am not looking for super duper tolerances. It does exactly what I want it to do.

Really nice product, but honestly, a bit over-sized for my small workshop.

I bought the 6 inch first, but this 3 inch was a much better fit for my little shop equipment.

I ordered this milling machine vise base spec and reviews. I was uncertain between 5\" and 6\" vise because my milling table is 8” x 28” so I decided to order 6\" and happy with my decision. I’m certainly not disappointed by the quality of the machining surface and precision of this vise. Of course there better quality vise out there but as beginners it fit my budget. My only constructive comment is the hardware ( t-slot bolt ) included could be better an oiler could be installed already and the dimensions of the handle clearly not accurate. P.s. I didn’t take the to colour match or strip and clear but it will be done.

Good vise, mounted on a PM25 mill. Fit of everything was good, it fits the mill well. You will need to de burr everything, edges are sharp! And I had to mill the nut side of the mounting slots. They are cast and in machined. The keys fit well and ran within .001" (keys on the bottom to the t-slot with the keys milled to fit my 12mm t - slots) I took .002 off the t-slot side and indicated it in.

I have a Kurt DX6 That is my primary vise on my bridgeport but I needed to steal it to use for a setup on my CNC that has Saunders vises that were just too small for what I needed. After the CNC was setup and running I ended up needing to run a job on the bridgeport but had no vise. So I took a chance on this one for $100. You dont get much for $100 these days and I was expecting garbage. I'll start out by saying this is no Kurt... But... its astonishingly not bad. It did arrive with sharp edges like other reviewers said, and I had to file and stone it right out of the box. The screw needed some oil and the whole thing just needed to be cleaned up a little bit. Once that was done I mounted it on the mill and threw up my indicator. Tapped it around and got the vise within .001\" X Y and Z. Jaws come together perfect and you can put some weight on the vise handle to clamp something down. Does what it needs to do and does it pretty well. The only thing I dont like is that the mounting slots are about .820\" wide, which makes it awkward to mount with 1/2\" studs but still doable with some heavy washers. All in all, like I said, astonishingly not bad for $100.
