Review: My rating will stand at two Stars based on the condition I received this Vise in. It was not deburred after being cast, they just painted it. It looks like they went after the Acme thread holes with a scaled-down two-man auger. All the milled contact surfaces seemed to have had the last thing that touched them be a 40 grit grinding wheel. The gib shims were absolutely horrible with both having been bent at an angle due to hammer strike for retention indent. The maximum travel on either axis was less than 1 inch before it bound up and I could not take the slop out even after adjustment unless I pulled the shims completely out. However..... after many hours of tearing it down and basically rebuilding the entire thing, it is now a five-star vise with zero slop and travel that you can engage with your pinky spinning it. I used a very stiff stainless steel bottle brush on all the inside threads and did the reverse on the Acme threaded rods. I then filed, stoned, and sanded every surface starting with 60 to 80 grit on the paper after I got there, and finishing up with 400 wet/dry paper. I had to deburr the entire thing, every single piece that had casting burrs and drill marks from the auger, haha. I then went to work and flattened all the points of the gibs on a stone, and filed down the shims until they were flat on both sides. The retaining plates at both ends we're all messed up and I had to flatten and sand those down as well. I literally took apart the entire thing and put it back together. A buddy of mine that is a machinist said "yeah, that looks like one of their new Chinese ones.That company 'branched out', haha". Anyway, to quote another Gentleman on a machinist/vise forum that I was trolling for information on how to fix this Bottom Dollar bargain piece of pot metal crap, after he basically did the same process and repair to another Chinese piece of crap with success, " Now she slides like hot butter drippin' off a biscuit". In my opinion, and the opinion of a local machinist that I brought it to after I reworked it, because I am a carpenter not a machinist but found myself in need of a decent vise, it is now in the $300-400 range of 3 inch cross slide XY vises. After I reassembled it, I hit it with Wilson's gun Grease because I had nothing else and it seemed appropriate... It'll do. Review: I am not a machinist, and I've never used a mill. But I needed to cut some slots in a bracket I fabricated, and later I needed to mill out a 'trough' in an existing casting. I have attempted slotting before just using a drill press, and I thought there should be something better - and this is it. I bought a cheap assortment of bits to go with it, and I know I will find many uses for it in the future. With nothing to compare it to, I can't really give 4 stars, but I'm happy with it. One thing I've noticed - with my drill press, the table can't firmly resist side-to-side movement. So, it's best if I can arrange for my milling passes to be toward/away from the column. ## Features - Precise Positioning: Accurately move your workpiece both horizontally and longitudinally - Fine Tuning: Cast side knobs accurately dial in .1mm increments - Easy Mounting: Durable base has five bolt lugs for mounting on a machine table - Durable Construction: Fine grain cast iron castings - Hardened V-Grooved Jaws: Hold round shaped objects both vertically and horizontally - Wilton Tools Guarantee: Backed by Wilton's industry-leading lifetime warranty ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B009E0E788 | | ASIN | B009E0E788 | | Best Sellers Rank | #129,554 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #18 in Power Drill Press Vises | | Brand Name | Wilton | | Color | Blue | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars (206) | | Customer reviews | 3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars (206) | | Date First Available | 20 December 2012 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00662755100161 | | Included Components | Vise | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions | 15.2 x 22.9 x 14.3 centimeters | | Item Type Name | Drill Press Vise | | Item Weight | 1 Pounds | | Item model number | CS3 | | Manufacturer | WMH Tool Group | | Manufacturer | WMH Tool Group | | Material Type | Cast Iron | | Model Number | CS3 | | Product Dimensions | 15.24 x 22.86 x 14.3 cm; 453.59 g | | Style Name | Cross Slide | | Tensile Strength | 10000 Pounds Per Square Inch | | UPC | 662755100161 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Wilton - **Colour:** Blue - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 15.2 x 22.9 x 14.3 centimeters - **Material:** Cast Iron - **Style:** Cross Slide ## Images ![Wilton Cross-Slide Drill Press Vise, 3" Jaw Width & Max Opening, 3" Jaw Depth (Model CS3) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51qKCqDrc3L.jpg) ![Wilton Cross-Slide Drill Press Vise, 3" Jaw Width & Max Opening, 3" Jaw Depth (Model CS3) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wfShstBOL.jpg) ![Wilton Cross-Slide Drill Press Vise, 3" Jaw Width & Max Opening, 3" Jaw Depth (Model CS3) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61K2EbsBJOL.jpg) ![Wilton Cross-Slide Drill Press Vise, 3" Jaw Width & Max Opening, 3" Jaw Depth (Model CS3) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61X5o3VscWL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐ Review *by C***Y on 13 March 2017* My rating will stand at two Stars based on the condition I received this Vise in.

There is a requirement before use, though. Its coated in rather dirty grease. Do NOT use it like that or you'll be writing a bad review like the others. You need to completely disassemble this and clean every screw & corner with degreaser (wd40 works too). Pay attention to how the pieces come apart cuz they need to go back correctly and on the correct sides. Then inspect your alignment rails. They will be cut roughly. SAND THEM DOWN. Don't overdo this, or you'll mess with tolerance too much, but all edges contact the track, so even out those rail edges, and then gloss them up with some 800 & 1000 grit wet sanding. I also glossed the main tracks. (Mine moves like butter drippin off a hot biscuit with the tracks oiled) The turn knobs can be tightened and loosened. There's not a ton of "in between" tight & loose, but I was able to find a good spot. If they're too loose, the axis you're not turning will have a tendency to fall back because of the heavy threading. This can mess your project a bit, so be attentive or you may gouge your work. It's not as annoying as it sounds, once you've spent time with it and figured out how it should feel. I cut some lower thingy-ma-bobs, and they all turned out great. With a good bit, at a high enough speed, you'll put out good pieces. Feel free to get to me with questions, I'll answer as soon as i can. ## Frequently Bought Together - Wilton Cross-Slide Drill Press Vise, 3" Jaw Width & Max Opening, 3" Jaw Depth (Model CS3) - 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? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/253583224-wilton-cross-slide-drill-press-vise-3-jaw-width-max](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/253583224-wilton-cross-slide-drill-press-vise-3-jaw-width-max) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
