Odd Fit
By William Marquette
I purchased Delta's 10-inch benchtop drill press last year and quickly learned that a drill press vise would be a must-have accessory. I first purchased a generic, "universal-fit" drill press vise, but it didn't fit the table properly. The mounting holes of the vise didn't align with the mounting holes on the drill press table. I returned the vise and decided to buy the appropriate Delta model vise for my press. Contacting Delta, this is the model they said would fit my drill press. When the vise arrived I was surprised to encounter the same problem. Once again, the mounting holes/slots didn't line up. I complained to Delta and their response was pretty lame. They said the vise would still work fine if it was mounted to the table at an angle. Furthermore, it would not be cost-efficient for them to make a vise which perfectly fit every model of drill press. Excuse me, but wouldn't it be a simple matter to machine the holes and slots on the drill press table to accomodate the slots on the vise?! I don't get Delta's flimsy explanation. Anyway, I'm sure this vise is of good quality and will do the job it's meant to do, but if you order it for your drill press, you may not be able to expect it to fit the way you think it will. When mounting the vise to the table on an angle as Delta suggests, it looks and "feels" odd. In addition, you can't achieve the same amount of adjustability with it as if it were mounted properly. Delta needs to re-think its engineering and tooling strategies so its products are more compatible with each other.

Call the Vise Squad
By Dick Johnson
Does it work? Pretty well, unless you are wanting to bolt it down to the drill press it was made for. While you can twist it around to get a few bolts in, that is a compromise you shouldn't have to make. Delta screwed up royally on this! I don't own another (yet) to recommend, but if you have a choice - pass on this one.

Quick release is nice. BUT one of the two sides of the clamps is not vertical. If it was designed that way on purpose I don't know what's the advantage. Otherwise it's a manufacturing and QC problem. The unit is too heavy to be returned under warranty; most of the time it does not bother me.
