Pros & Cons
Pros
It feels very sturdy, and should last a lifetime. Wilton has a good name for quality.
It fits my bottom of the line, 5-speed, 8 central machinery drill press from harbor freight. It fits the table of my rikon 30-100 bench top drill press. It's small, but it's tough as it gets.
The ceramic paint coating is glossy and very easy to keep clean. Low profile is a plus as well. Good quality, solid and easy to use.
Cons
It has a design issue that severely limits its intended usage.
Highlights
Quality
All the parts seem well made, and together will last a lifetime.
Appears to be a quality product from the first few uses.
The handle was completely sheared off at the acme thread shaft.
All of the edges had sharp burrs which were easily removed with a file (aka not hard).
Price
Would highly recommend for anyone on a budget as long as they realize the maximum size.
A real step up from the cheapie $15 vises you see around.
For the money spent, i believe it to be a good value.
A very good vise for the money.
Shipping
The replacement vise arrived quickly and it's in perfect shape.
Packaging/appearance
The product was well packaged and there were no flaws on the finish.
Looked like the vise took a pretty severe blow, yet the the package didn't appear to be damaged.
Competitiveness
This vise is better than anything available from harbor freight, lowes, etc.
I looked at a vise at lowes and the jaws would not close parallel, making the "pony vise" utterly useless.
Much better than the lightweight, cast, cheapo vises i've bought elsewhere.
If i need another vise (which i do) i will purchase a wilton vise.

Center to center measurements of the slots on the drill press and the slots in the vise dont match but the slots in the drill press are wider allowing the vise to fit

I use some bolts and washers and wing nuts not provided to fasten the vise in position

Sorry to see the vise made in china

The screw did not turn smoothly at first but that was due to some loose metal chips in the treads once brushed away it worked smoothly
