Tools and Hardware Reviews of Shop Fox D2730 3-Inch Cross Sliding Vise
Customer Review: Decent vise for wood, plastics, or light metal working
Summary: 4 Stars
The Shop Fox (AKA Grizzly) 3" vise is a very useful addition to a full-sized drill press, it may be too big and/or tall for a bench-mount press, but it fits well on my ancient Craftsman floor-standing drill press.
The castings are rough, but the ways and gibs are well finished and accurately ground - you should strip the vise and throughly clean all mating surfaces, along with the acme srews and their captured nuts - the packing grease is gummy and tenacious, but will strip off with kerosene.
When you reassemble the vise, spend some time setting the gib screws for the correct tension, adjust them so the head moves smoothly in both axises, doesn't bind, and has no perceptable rock or wobble. Then use the adjustable collars to set the cross feed screws for minimum backlash.
Properly tuned, the Shop Fox is fine for repetitive hole driling, or milling light materials. It doen't have enough mass, or jaw strength, to stand up to milling cast iron or steel, but neither do the bearings on the typical drill press.
At about half the cost of a small Palgrem, the Shop Fox is a very acceptable substitute when used within its limits.
