Review: Not the cheapest vise but made much better and by an American company - Quality was very good. Much better than cheaper vises on desertcart. If you want to hold something completely still in an X-Y axis vise the drive nut that the drive screw pushes against when adjusting the position of the vise must have no play in it. If the drive nut allows the drive screw to move after you clamp something in it the vise still moves and is therefore useless for the intended purpose and every hole you drill will look like you did it by hand. Review: Excellent vise that works best if disassembled, cleaned, lubed and adjusted before use - I can echo others' comments about the flimsy plastic bag holding the nuts, but that's a pretty small concern for a vise that will likely last a lifetime. The box arrived surprisingly intact and unbeaten compared to other deliveries in this weight range. Note that the photos on desertcart seem to all show the 3- or 4-inch models. This one, the 8-inch, is a monster by comparison, in both size and weight. However...am I the only one who noticed they shipped it put together backwards? that is, as it arrived, the fixed vise jaw could not be moved over the centerline of the vise, which means I can't drill a hole right next to the edge of the stock, without some other thing there. In any event, I removed the two bolts holding the upper unpainted steel plate the handle spins against. Then I removed the lead screw from the assembly, and lifted up the top half, turned it around, and put it back in. Then I just replaced the lead screw and aligned the plate and secured it back again. Now the left-to-right spinner is on the right, and the vise-jaw screw is on the left, and the (now) right-hand fixed jaw moves all the way under the spindle. Yay! I decided that since desertcart was so kind as to deliver this 78# monster on a Saturday in the pouring Seattle rain, I'd install it right. I cleaned and greased the bottom surface, and secured it to the drill press surface. Then, starting with the bottom-most, I disassembled it, cleaned off their almost watery lubrication and put a medium film of thick oil on the bearing surfaces and the lead screw. I adjusted the bearing-slide set screws to it all moved silky-smooth, and then repeated that for the upper slide, and then for the movable vise jaw. Now it works so smoooooth! I think that's a key factor in making this work well for the long term future ahead: getting it thoroughly cleaned, lubricated and adjusted before trying to use it. So far so good, though I've only had it in use for a day now. Very sturdy, very LARGE and very smooth. Things I wish were better: 1) The knobs and their mating to the shaft. "Precision mating" is not an idea that crossed dear Wilton's mind that day, sadly. 2) The sliding surfaces of the inserts. When you take them out to clean and lubricate, you'll see what I mean: pitted and definitely now what you'd expect when trying to achieve a precision fit. 3) The only surfaces that are "precision machined" is the floor of the vise part. The sliding surfaces are only "machined". You can definitely tell the difference. Again, the vise would be much more accurate if the same level of finish were applied to the slide surfaces. 3) Handle-end of lead screws have NO bearing except steel against the hole in the steel plates. Atrocious choice on a vise of this quality. Just having those two joints improved with an oil-filled bronze or ball bearing would improve the action of this vise 100%. But noooo.....! In any event, despite the suggested changes, this is one very large, very sturdy and very capable vise. It's far smoother than the imported el-cheapo one I had been using. ## Features - Move your workpiece horizontally and longitudinally for precise positioning - Cast side knobs accurately dial in .1mm increments - Durable base has five bolt lugs for easy mounting to a machine table - Heavy-duty construction with fine-grain cast iron castings - Hardened V-groove jaws hold round-shaped objects both vertically and horizontally ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B009E0E9YK | | Best Sellers Rank | #136,401 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #83 in Bench Clamps | | Brand | Wilton | | Brand Name | Wilton | | Color | Blue | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 926 Reviews | | Included Components | Vise | | Item Dimensions | 10.5 x 5.75 x 7 inches | | Item Type Name | Drill Press Vise | | Item Weight | 20 Pounds | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 10.5 x 5.75 x 7 inches | | Manufacturer | WMH Tool Group | | Manufacturer Part Number | WL9-11694 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Lifetime | | Material | Cast Iron | | Material Type | Cast Iron | | Model Number | CS4 | | Style | Cross Slide | | Style Name | Cross Slide | | UPC | 014444910559 784497315365 069060297140 662755100178 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Wilton - **Color:** Blue - **Item Weight:** 20 Pounds - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 10.5 x 5.75 x 7 inches - **Manufacturer:** WMH Tool Group - **Material:** Cast Iron - **Style:** Cross Slide - **UPC:** 014444910559 784497315365 069060297140 662755100178 ## Images ![Wilton Cross-Slide Drill Press Vise, 4" Jaw Width & Max Opening, 1-3/8" Jaw Depth (Model CS4) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51GZxY23GNL.jpg) ![Wilton Cross-Slide Drill Press Vise, 4" Jaw Width & Max Opening, 1-3/8" Jaw Depth (Model CS4) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jKVIUDwtL.jpg) ![Wilton Cross-Slide Drill Press Vise, 4" Jaw Width & Max Opening, 1-3/8" Jaw Depth (Model CS4) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Zj882BGFL.jpg) ![Wilton Cross-Slide Drill Press Vise, 4" Jaw Width & Max Opening, 1-3/8" Jaw Depth (Model CS4) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41YhjAf-zFL.jpg) ![Wilton Cross-Slide Drill Press Vise, 4" Jaw Width & Max Opening, 1-3/8" Jaw Depth (Model CS4) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41tMH3ksxwL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not the cheapest vise but made much better and by an American company *by R***8 on March 30, 2026* Quality was very good.

Can't really beat it for the price. ## Frequently Bought Together - Wilton Cross-Slide Drill Press Vise, 4" Jaw Width & Max Opening, 1-3/8" Jaw Depth (Model CS4) - AUTOTOOLHOME 1/8" 3/16" 1/4" 5/16" 3/8" 1/2" high Speed Steel HSS 4 Flute Straight End Mill Cutter 5/32" 1/16" Set of 8 - sisona 1/8" 3/16" 1/4" 5/16" 3/8" Carbide End Mills Set - Solid Carbide (Tungsten Carbide + Cobalt) - 5Pcs 4 Fulte CNC Mill Bits for Steel - TISIN Coated --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/13177698-wilton-cross-slide-drill-press-vise-4-jaw-width-max](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/13177698-wilton-cross-slide-drill-press-vise-4-jaw-width-max) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-07*
