A couple of years ago I installed one of these end vises on my Sjobergs bench. I liked it so well that I purchased another for my new woodworking bench that I just finished. Like several others have stated, Even though the instructions are something to be desired, this is still an excellent vise. Probably the best one of it's type. And I surely wouldn't have bought another if I didn't believe that.

I took my time and installed this in about 2 hours, which includes milling out the cheeks. I would recommend that the manufacturer include hole templates as accuracy is key and it took some time to create my own. The quick release feature is excellent, though it does slow down the installation process quite a bit when you are working alone. I would NOT buy this product without the quick release option, unless you REALLY like spending a ton of shop time cranking your vise open and closed. This is one heavy duty, and well built piece. I showed it to my uncle who is a 40 year woodworking veteran and he was definetly impressed maybe even a little jealous? With it's craftsmanship and precision. 13" travel is enough to travel through 2 thick cheeks and the table apron, while still giving a large opening for material.

This vice is great,very easy to install works like a dream. The bench isn't pretty, built out of scrap left over from adding 1000 sq ft to our home, clamping surface is 2x6 redwood, bench top is an old solid core door with 6x6 redwood legs, ugly yes but a real hard working bench that doesn't move and really works great for me. Out feed roller from Rockler works great with the band saw when re sawing 50 year old redwood 2x12 headers. One hint if you are putting bench dogs in after you drill the 3/4" holes in the vice face drill 1/4" or 3/8" hole in the outer face lined up with your dog holes easier to get the sawdust out that builds up in them there holes. Overall I give this vice a five stars, and highly recommend it!

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 maybe months of research on vises I selected the Rockler 12” Quick Release Vise for my end vise for its width and it’s perceived value. The table plans that I based my table on used an double screw vise for the width of the table to prevent racking. Very expensive. I decide that based on previous quality products from Rockler and the advertised lack of racking tendency for this vise I would take a chance on it. 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 as an end vise for your work bench. It would also function very well as an extra wide front vise.

Very happy with the product. As others have stated, keep the box for 'basic' directions. Vice worked great. Wanted to use maple for jaws, but 8/4 maple cost as much as the vice. Used poplar and so far very happy.

Solidly built, smooth operation, well machined. Make sure you have enough room to install this beast under your bench; I had to make a few modifications to fit it in.
