Awesome idea for the handle grub screw

[@MalJ-eb7nv]

Thanks Steve, I purchased one and it arrived yesterday. I will mount mine on the drill press using your idea. Thankyou. (I have used a few of your ideas over the years from your videos)

[@steph2211]

Nice looking vice Steve 👍👍

[@MalJ-eb7nv]

Useful set-up. Thankyou

[@malcolmtill]

Excellent, Very high quality video

[@SteveJordan]

Thanks for watching and for your encouraging comments. Regards Steve

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Steve, they look like a good vice, I’ve seen a few other reviews on the Vevor vices and they have all been happy with it, thanks for sharing mate, cheers

[@65cj55]

I have the 5'' one, no issues.

[@nobbysworkshop]

These are great vices Steve. I got my one from Vevor two years ago. I use it on my Mini Mill, but without the rotating base to give me extra height. I can always add the base if I need to set an angle. I copied some of your bench drill mods, which I have shown in an earlier video. Cheers Nobby

[@SteveJordan]

Hi Nobby, Yes, they are excellent vices. What is your Mini Mill like? Did it need any modifications from new?

[@nobbysworkshop]

@@SteveJordan Hi Steve, I bought it used in 2016. Have done some mods to it. Replaced the torsion bar with a gas strut, and made a homemade power feed for the X travel. My first and third KZbin videos show them. Most recently I added a DRO. Have a few videos on this also. Although it's only a lightweight mill, I've done a huge amount of work on it. All the best Steve. Cheers Nobby

Hi Steve. Everything labelled. Great idea, not least for our Executors! I really like the scissor jack arrangement, you're very inventive. Not much chance of a workpiece escaping from that vice and of course a great safety feature to protect our hands. Thanks for showing.

[@SteveJordan]

Hi, Thanks. The safety feature was one of the reasons I got this one. A couple of years ago, I was drilling through an old V block, but stupidly holding it by hand. It snatched when the drill went through and caused some nasty injuries. It could have been a lot worse, though, but I learned never to hold anything by hand again!

[@buckinthetree1233]

That scissor jack under the drill press table looks terrible, but it's a genius idea. I have a very small tabletop drill press in my garage that I use for woodworking and a scissor jack that's going under the table next time I use it. I admire your keen idea.

[@SteveJordan]

Thanks. I have seen other people use the scissor jacks as well. I forgot to mention that if using them, to make sure one uses a spirit level on the table when adjusting it. I have been using it for many years, and it works great. Regards Steve

[@goldprogoldpro7809]

Thanks for another interesting video Steve. Is there an engraved line on the vise portion to work with the swivel degrees? I couldn't quite see anything in the video or at the website.

[@SteveJordan]

Hi, There is a ground flat where one should be, but mine doesn't have a line, so I shall just put one on. It looks like there should have been one as the flat is unpainted. It is easy to do, though. Regards Steve

[@johnb2044]

Hi Steve quick noob question why have i seen on some vlogs that some folks use a round rod when clamping in the vice ???? almost like a spacer to stop the work piece walking in the jaws while being clamped.?

[@SteveJordan]

Hi John, I really don't know. I've never seen or come across it.

[@65cj55]

Sometimes clamping with 3 points of contact is better.

[@wilkbilt]

Did Vevor furnish this vice to you, free of charge ?

[@samrodian919]

@@SteveJordanyou didn't answer the question Steve

[@SteveJordan]

Hi, Sorry for the late reply. No, it costs me a lot of time and effort and money. I spent the best part of a day filming the video, then doing all the editing as well. People have got the wrong idea when they think things are free. Regards Steve

[@adhawk5632]

So it was free? I've got one too, there good little vices. $80 is a bargain

[@acalciu]

Lol. He checked accuracy with a ruler across the flats! That's hilarious. Use a dial indicator with the vise on a surface plate.

[@65cj55]

It's for his Drill Press......

[@SteveJordan]

I don't need to. It's for my bench drill, not a milling machine. Regards Steve

[@acalciu]

@@SteveJordan ok. That makes sense.

[@SteveJordan]

Also, as well as not having a milling machine, I do not have a surface plate that is large enough. Regards Steve

Cant stand that place. Panda poop would be a proper name.
