Product Description

Product Description

The Wilton 78A woodworker's Vise features a metal housing which fully encloses the screw, preventing sawdust and dirt from "gumming" the threads. Not only does this keep the threads clean, but it also increases the life of the vise's rapid-action release mechanism. The front jaw pivots 10 degrees to allow clamping of irregularly-shaped objects, and the entire front jaw can be moved up and locked in place to serve as a full length dog. Jaw width is 4" x 7". Maximum opening is 10".

From the Manufacturer

This heavy duty woodworking vise has a front jaw that pivots 10-Degree to allow for clamping irregular shaped parts. The front jaw moves up to 9/16-Inch to act as a full length dog. The pivot jaw can be removed for wider clamping requirements. Mounting instructions are included.

Awesome quick release vise option
5 Stars
Awesome quick release vise option
I can’t say enough how much a good quick release vise is absolutely vital in a workshop space. Wilton is by far the best if seen for what I need. First, my shop space is outdoor in an area with high humidity and where everything turns to rust. This vise is coated in every essential way. Handle seems to be aluminum and the vise is mostly covered with a protective coating that’s also clear coated on top of that. I accidentally wiped some off some clear coat with acetone but just recoated with some poly and it’s all good again. The guts of the vise is coated with grease or some sort of lube that keep the parts from oxidizing. Smooth action. Mounted solidly with the shims I made of Baltic birch (pictured) using the provided instructions and the template for the holes. Made a base plate to mount my 4” vise wedging it between a bench dog and the raised face plate (pictured). I use this for metal parts so that I don’t mess up this beautiful Wilton vise. Came with the two magnetic Maple blocks to use with fine wood pieces. When compared to the other options on the market (eclipse, woodcraft, etc.) no other would really work for what I want. These other options have bare metal that would just rust over and look like a mess in this humidity unless cared for every single day. Not worth the time or money for those. But for this Wilton vise, absolutely worth it and with amazon being the seller....WIN - WIN! 5 stars and no less!

5.0 out of 5 stars Helping Hands...
Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2017
The reviews were correct. Quick delivery, excellent product, clear directions, and the installation was straight forward.. No major problems. I did have to remove some of the sand from the bolt holes which can happen sometimes in a forged piece of metal. The 3/8" x 3" lag bolts were a little tight on the front two bolt holes. No big deal, however, from a quality point of view, I was surprised the inspector did not check the bolt holes. I installed a extra 2"x4" underneath my bench so that the lag bolts had plenty of wood to secure the vise. Next, I located and drilled the pilot holes per the directions.
The next step, I installed the rear bolts as suggested to the recommended length. Using a round file, I opened the two front bolt holes so that the lags bolts could be started by hand as stated in the directions. Finally, I used my 1/2" impact gun to tighten the lag bolts and started enjoying the extra pair of hands that I need just about everyday when repairing or building different projects for home or the Thea Bowman Center where I work part-time.
I found that the magnetic hardwood pads that came with the vise worked well. However, for the next project I needed to install larger hardwood pads on my vise. I included a picture. Thank you for a great product and quick service.
