This TEXALAN(R) drill press vise seems like a really useful tool for anyone who works with a drill press. It’s a heavy-duty clamp that helps you hold your work in place while you drill. Imagine you’re trying to drill a hole in a piece of wood. Without a vise, the wood might move around, and your hole might not end up where you want it. This vise solves that problem. It has two handles that let you move your work left and right, and also forward and backward. This is called an “X-Y compound” design. It makes it much easier to drill multiple holes in exactly the right spots without having to unclamp and reclamp your work over and over again. It feels very solid and well-built, which gives you confidence that it will hold your workpiece securely. “” This is important because if your work isn’t held tightly, the drill bit could cause it to vibrate or “chatter,” which can make your drilling less accurate and even a little dangerous.
The 6-inch size of this vise means it can hold pieces of work up to that width. That’s a pretty good size for most projects you might do at home or in a small workshop. Setting it up looks pretty straightforward; you simply mount it onto the table of your drill press. There are slots in the base of the vise that allow you to bolt it down securely. Having it bolted down is crucial for stability and safety. The handles turn smoothly, allowing for precise adjustments. You can really fine-tune the position of your workpiece. There are also stops that you can set. These stops help you repeat the same drilling position accurately, which is handy if you’re making multiple identical parts. “” It’s not like watching a movie on IMDb or playing in the yard, but for getting accurate drilling done, this tool seems like a big help. It definitely beats trying to hold things steady by hand!
Overall, this TEXALAN(R) drill press vise appears to be a reliable and well-designed piece of equipment. It’s not something you’d take to a resto or use to measure torque, but it serves its purpose well. It helps prevent movement and chatter, leading to cleaner and more accurate drilling. The ability to easily move your workpiece in two directions without unclamping is a significant advantage. The heavy-duty construction suggests it will last for a while. While I haven’t measured the exact perimeter of the vise or the units of force it can withstand, it feels strong and capable. “” If you’re serious about using your drill press for more than just simple tasks, investing in a vise like this seems like a smart move. It will likely make your work easier, safer, and more precise.
