I recently (Mar. 27, 2009) retired and built myself a hobby shop. I equipped the shop with a new table saw, planer, drill press, new router table, compound miter-saw, dust collector, and a small wood lathe. Of course with all this wood working equipment a good work table is a must and any good wood working table needs vises. My second non-repair project (the shop being number one) was to build me a good wood working table. I fabricated the table out of 1x3x96 maple stock that I happen to have on hand. The entire table is laminate from this stock including the mortis and tenon jointed legs. The table can be seen in the upper corner of the photo. After doing weeks of research on vises I selected the Rockler 9” Quick Release Vise for my front vise for its width and it’s perceived value. The table plans that I based my table on used a variable angle vise. Very expensive. I decide that based on previous quality products from Rockler and the advertised features of this vise it would be perfect for my front vise. So far I have absolutely no complaints. The vise operates smooth as silk and the quick release operates as advertised. I do a lot of clamping at one or the other ends of the vise jaws and so far no racking tendency is evident. I would highly recommend this vise for anyone needing a high quality dependable vise for their work bench. It could also function very well as an inexpensive narrow end vise.

While refinishing my Grandpa's table I searched for a vise to attach to it. The table came from the basement of his and next my father's clothing store. It was used to spread the clothes on for inspection and pricing. The table is 10'6" long by 5' wide, a woodworkers dream table. This vise attached easily and securely to it. I am loving using it with the bench dogs which has greatly expanded the clamping span. I used purple heart wood and maple to line the vice. I highly recommend this vise.

Beefy and complete vise. I like the wooden (vs metal) handle. The quick release feature is really nice. It makes the workbench I'm finishing seem complete. I shopped around for similar vises from other sources and the Rockler price was very reasonable. Mine came with both a 7" and 9" template.

Great vise. For years I have looked for a vise with the large wooden handle just like tyhe ones I used in woodshop in high school. The diameter of the handle is more comfortable to use. The vise is sturdy and well made. Instructions for mounting would have helped. Locating the mounting screws is done easily by placing a piece of paper on the mounting plate and rubbing a pencil along the edges of the plate and the holes. Take the paper and place it under your bench top and transfer the markings. I'm designing a new bench an I'm having a problem with designing the legs and frame to support the top. The vise extends under the bench top and interfers with the frame supports for the top. Again, I think instructions with measurements for clearence requirements would be helpful. Once you get past the mounting issues I believe this vise will be working in my shop for years.

Very pleased with the quick release. This was an upgrade from and old very inexpensive vise. There is no comparison. Would like to see a drilling guide.

The vise is well constructed and works smoothly. The "turn back" quick release is a wonderful feature. I was able to add wood jaws quite easily. The threading seems to be 5/16" coarse thread and I had no trouble finding hex bolts. I recessed these via a forstner bit into 3/4" maple for a very nice set-up. Compared with other vises I have used over the years this product stacks up very well.

This is a great vise, I have been using it for about a month and am quite happy.
Would it be possible to add the specs for the drilled faces to the catalog item so I can get some matching machine screws?
Editor's note:
That's a good question Scot! The through holes in the jaw faces are do not have a common machine threading. To install wood faces one uses the hole as through holes only and does not thread into them. Washers and nuts can be used on the backside of the jaw faces to secure wood faces if desired.
