Good Quality Drill Press Vice

[Talonmotorsport]

Having made mistakes with drill presses, milling machines, surface grinders etc. I have a fair idea of what will let go and cause blood loss from fingers, face and chest areas. Don't buy the flat faced vice for use on a drill press, it's intended for holding square stock for milling. As you pull the drill down the material will twist or slip down the faces. The blue oxford vice is not bad but you have to be careful with the angle at which you grip your part at. Theres a tendancy for the part to be sqeezed out of the wider end >. I have some thing simular to the axminster vice also known as a nippy vice with 125mm wide jaws. It needs either bolting or G clamping to the table but comes in handy for doing batch runs.
