This a great vise. Takes a bit to install, but isn’t hard. I did it without help, but another set of hands would have made it even easier.
I am very pleased with this vice. It’s well made and Rick solid. The jaws line up and I can see it lasting many years
You get what you pay for. It is a heavy chunk of metal, and I am happy with it for the price, but as soon as I get any better than noob amateur I’ll be upgrading. The Jaws aren’t completely square with each othe
per ora mi pare uno strumento solido e funzionale, non c’ mezza descrizione n istruzioni neanche in marziano ma insomma ci si impegna un po’ e si monta. Diciamo per ora soddisfatto.
Ottima morsa per legno, pratica, robusta e il sistema di sgancio rapido comodissimo. Acquisto consiglistissimo
Tough and well designed.
Glad I got a larger size than I thougt I needed.
Quick lock new to me ….. I like it.
Excellente presse pour tabli. Le mcanisme de dbrayage est vraiment intressant.
Fix sur un tabli “home made” plus facile.
Massimo punteggio a questa morsa, che per quello che costa vale veramente molto. Non grandissima ma si adatta perfettamente al mio banco. Stringe bene e con delle buone ganasce di legno duro (sulla mia ho messo del rovere) non ho il minimo problema a tenere fermi pezzi anche per piallature a mano ‘ignoranti’.
Bisogna sempre stringere un po’ di pi di quello che si pensa, ma poi nessun pezzo scappa pi.
Davvero ottima (lo sgancio rapido inoltre la ciliegina sulla morsa 🙂 ).
Buen producto lo mejor es la apertura y cierre rapido.Tamao decente.No pone que es spear&jackso
Es suficientemente grande con apertura de mordaza ms que suficiente, ajusta bien. Buen producto de calidad a un precio razonable.
Esta prensa es muy fuerte y de mejor calidad. Yo recomiendo.
Buen torn robusto y clsico, para m no tiene ningn problema , y llego 2 das antes de lo previsto
Buon prodotto… La sto usando sul mio banco da falegnameria… Svolge bene il suo dovere ed ben fatta
Been meaning to fit one for years and with the lockdown on I decided to get it done. Glad I went for this one as it is top quality and with the quick release as well, very happy !
Perfect for a small shop with a small work bench mine is 27″ Wide and 60″ Length . This vise seems to be really well made and very easy to install. I recessed the four machine thread bolts I used to install i. I have seen some installation videos of similar vices where they use lag screws to screw it directly in from the bottom. That may work fine in the short run. I just couldn’t trust lag bolts not to come loose. I know I can trust machine bolts. I am very pleased with the quality of the Eclipse 7″ quick release vise.
Man hat einen kleinen Hebel welcher neben der Spindel bettigt wird und durch eine Feder wieder einrastet. Gut und praktisch gelst.
Bei der Vorderen Backe ist zustzlich noch eine Art Bankhaken integriert welcher mittels Schraube fixiert/gelst wird.
Massiv ausgefhrt. Fertigungsqualitt ist gut.
Backen sind bei mir Parallel (3 Stk.)
Klar ein High End Maschinenschraubstock ist das sicher nicht aber fr den Preis und fr meine Zwecke mehr als ausreichend.
Nutze Ihn als Vorderzange bzw. Hinterzange an der Hobelbank.
Kaufempfehlung
Es una herramienta muy necesaria cuando haces trabajos con frecuencia. Me he estado apaando de otras formas pero, ya que la he probado, no podra estar sin ella. He visto en otros comentarios que el cierre entre mandbulas no era perfecto. A m me cierra bien.
Bueno, robusto y cmodo d usar.
Pero l soporte a la mesa viene un poco desescuadrao.
Great value for the price, just had to take it apart completely in order for me to paint it red so it can match the theme I’m going for in my garage
Non mi aspettavo un prodotto cos solido e di ottimi materiali ! Ha persino la leva per il movimento rapido e un piccolo sperone per bloccare i pezzi sul banco!
There is some burrs and chatter on the screw. I removed the burrs by wrapping 120 grit sandpaper around the screw and turning the handle back and forth. A tongue depressor (I buy them in the “hobby items” section of the fastener department at the big-box home improvement stores or a crafts store) is ideal for getting into the mating area of the thread on the half-nut and screw with a piece of sandpaper. This knocked the high spots off the chatter marks. There is some red grease on the screw and a small amount of “Chinese grease” (machining swarf, dirt, and oil) in the screw threads and half nut. I cleaned this off with alcohol and applied some silicone spray. That might be dangerous if it gets on any finish wood surfaces, and if so I’ll have to go to wax-based chain lube.
This fiddling with the screw and lube work is primarily just because I’m also an amateur machinist. The vise works perfectly fine straight out of the box. There is one tiny chip in the paint on a corner, otherwise nothing to complain about at all. This is a vise for wood, not a Kurt or Wilton metal vise.
The quick release lever was a little tight for my taste. This can be adjusted by unscrewing the screw in the flat metal bar and repositioning the bar to another set of slots in the castellated nut.
The mounting directions that come with the vise are clearly written by someone who has never used a woodworking vise. The jaws should be just below the surface of the bench top so that the dog, when raised, can clamp a workpiece laid flat on the bench against a dog (peg) placed in a hole in the bench top. Usually, the vise jaws are lined with wood, perhaps with leather or rubber on top of the wood. paulsellers.com has posts on how to mount this vise.
Paul Sellers mounts the vise on the surface of his Nicholson-style bench. Others recess the back jaw. It’s a personal working choice.
Similarly, I bought this vise over the automatic release models (open 1-2 turns to engage the release) since I think I like the option to open the vise a little more by just giving the handle another turn or two instead of opening 1-2 turns and then pull on the handle. On the automatic models, once the release is triggered, more turns won’t open the vise further.
Me a gustado por su robustes y su acabado y el material con que esta echo un diez
Come segnalato anche dagli altri acquirenti le ganasce non coincidono perfettamente.
Al di fuori di questo reputo il prodotto ottimo.
Molto utile anche l’opzione di rilascio rapido.
habe diesen Tischlerschraubstock als Vorderzange in meine Werkbank eingebaut. Besonders die Schnellverstellung ist ein Highlight und sehr praktisch. Bin sehr zufrieden. Klare Kaufempfehlung
Schn Mahaltig, lediglich das Gewinde ist grob geschnitten, aber mit etwas Mhe und ner kleinen Feile…alles gut.
Der Schraubstock ist eine gute Alternative zum herkmmlichen Tischlerschraubstock. Er lsst sich, wie auf dem Foto zu sehen, mit Holzplatten bestcken damit das eingespannte Werkstck nicht beschdigt wird. Er hat einen Schnellspannhebel, sodass man bei greren Wegen nicht nur kurbeln muss. Das Produkt ist sehr schwer und macht einen robusten Eindruck. Es wird unter der Werktischplatte befestigt. Die Schrauben sind nicht enthalten. Ich habe 10 mm Schlossschrauben mit Unterlegscheiben verwendet. Die Schrauben sollten in der Tischplatte versenkt werden, siehe 2. Foto. In eingefahrenen Zustand sind die Spannbacken nicht ganz auf der gleichen Hhe, daher 1 Stern Abzug. Der Schraubstock ist vom Werk her eingefettet. Ein gutes Produkt. Sehr zu empfehlen.
Occorre fare uno scasso sul montante perch la ganascia interna non a 90 gradi ( forse voluto mah ! ), stessa cosa anche per quella esterna seppur con inclinazione minore , certo nulla di grave per occorre lavorarci un po. Molto comodi anche lo sgancio rapido e il dente in ferro retrattile per bloccare dei pezzi in piano.
Visto il peso io ho utilizzato per il fissaggio non delle viti per legno ma dei bulloni del 10×100 con testa esagonale.
Ottimo rapporto qualit prezzo.
Consigliato.
Tornillo de banco slido. El sistema de liberacin rpida funciona muy bien. El montaje rpido y sencillo.
Der Kleinere (ich habe davon 2 – Front und Seite) reich mir aber voellig aus, durch die Belegung der Backen mit Multiplex gewinnt man ohnehin noch ein paar cm, und das Ganze wird ein bisschen Budget-freundlicher.
Die Schraubstoecke laufen ordentlich parallel, die Schnellentriegelung ist sehr hilfreich, und insgesamt ist die Qualitaet voellig ausreichend.
Ich bin mit der Werkbank incl. beider Schraubstoecke sehr zufrieden!
Una comora interesante! Muy bien de precio y con calidad contrastada!
Pensavo di acquistare un meccanismo a vite per il mio banco ma ho riposto fiducia in Sellers che usa questo tipo di morsa per i suoi workbench. Io ho acquistato la 7 pollici, la pi piccola. Arrivata, montata e usata per la piallatura con l’ausilio dei dog bench – acquistati a parte. Utilissima robusta e versatile. La mia 7″ ha la parte che si appoggia al banco non a 90 gradi ma di 7 in pi: ho praticato uno scanso sia sul bordo banco, sia sulla guancia di legno, recuperando circa 12 mm di apertura morsa. Non credo che le morse pi grandi abbiano tale caratteristica.
Ich schliee mich der Bewertung von Bogomil voll an. Es ist ein Sehr gutes Gert fr Holzwerker. Ich bin voll zufrieden und froh dieses Teil gekauft zu haben.
Okay, so, like some guys already mentioned there are some small defects, or better say – metal particles leftovers in the bottom part. Not critical though, and can be easily fixed with a cleaning, maybe a couple of small file movements + regreasing.
Be aware that installation bolts/screws are not supplied. M10 works nicely for me. I am using 2 long at the back plus nylon spacers. Now will fit some birch pads, and all done. Can’t really comment yet above “Durability”, but constrcution looks strong and adequate.
This product works as advertised. installed it on my bench. I use it as a stand alone vise, and with bench dogs if a board very long or wide. Didn’t come with installation instruction, but a quick google will tell you how to install it.
Muy buen producto. Es preciso y ajusta muy bien. Se nota que es resistente.
Relacion calidad precio adrcuada, recib lo que esperaba tener cuando lo compr.
Lo he instalado en mi banco de trabajo
as expected – I recommend this product. I added some wood blocks to the inside face so I could use it without marking up any finishes. I like this vice.
This is one well made vise. Bought this and installed 6 month ago-replacing a larger 9 inch Record 52 1/2 vise due to workshop space restrictions in new home. The Eclipse is based on the Record pattern and even thought smaller than my previous vise, is its virtual equal in performance. I have added 11 inch wooden cheeks which effectively give the vise operational effectiveness of a larger one. Its cosmetics are flawless, in the painted jaws and in the finish on guides and screw. With six months of use , as Installed in an attached garage, it looks a good as new (no chipping, no rust). Installation was very simple, partly due to its very manageable weight. Arrived promptly with no damaged.
Highly recommended. Go ahead and order this vise-you will not regret it.
Der Einbau in die Werkbank war nicht schwer, erfordert aber ein wenig genaues arbeiten. Ich habe ihn so eingebaut, da feste Backe bndig mit der Vorderkante der Bank abschliet. Vorher habe ich ein Stck Buchenholz an die Backe geschraubt, an die ndere Zange ebenfalls.
So hat der Schraubstock jetzt 2 Buchenholzbacken, perfekt. Da meine Arbeitsplatte 4 cm stark ist musdte ich ein wenig unter fttern. Jetzt merke ivh erst richtig, was mir lange Zeit gefehlt hat, er ist sehr oft in Gebrauch, das provisorische fest spannen von Werkstcken hat nun ein Ende. Er hllt alles zuverlssig und gut fest. Ein Kauf, den ich nur sehr empfehlen kann und iederzeit wieder ttigen wrde.
Use it all the time. In combination with bench dogs this thing rocks. Looks nice too.
Great workbench vice! Love the quick release feature and having the metal vice dog on the vice, nice addition! My workbench top is 1.5″ thick, so I had to add a piece of wood 1″ thick as a shim to get the top of the vice even with the bench top.
I already had a workbench vice mounted on the long side of my workbench but needed one mounted on the short end so that I could work with longer pieces. After mounting it onto my workbench, I drilled 7/8″ holes 6″ apart down the length of my workbench top in line with the center of the vice. I then cut 1.5″ lengths of 3/4″ PVC pipe and glued them into the 7/8″ holes. This gives the holes a finished look and makes a smooth fit for the Kreg Bench Dogs to go into. I also coated the bench dog’s pegs with a rubber coating to reduce the chance of the bench dog slipping up out of the hole when pressure is applied.
Hope to have many years of use!
Well constructed and competitively priced. Works smoothly and fit my workbench without a lot of hassle. I would certainly recommend this vise.
Bought used from Amazon. Vise was in perfect condition and is an excellent high quality vise, only the box it came in was used. Quick release mechanism works very well. Easy to install on my workbench.
Great woodworking vise! The quick release action is smooth and convenient.
Installation was straight forward and the only modification I made other than adding wooden faces is I replaced the provided steel dog with a wooden one to reduce marring on work. It’s used nearly daily and coupled with some bench dogs has held a wide array of work for planing, sanding, finishing, etc and never skipped a beat.
I almost purchased one of those multi hundred dollar vises but you know what, I won’t be needing it. This one has worked perfectly over a wide variety of uses without a single complaint and I highly
recommend it.
Good price. Easy installation. Works well with bench dogs. Excellent workbench upgrade.
The quality of the 7″ Eclipse Woodworking Vise is very good. My workbench is a Bench Solutions Fold Down and is only 1-1/2″ thick. I had to add 1-1/4″ spacers to the bottom of the workbench. I used 4″ X 3/8″ bolts. It was easy to install. Love it.
A good quality product that substantially beat the price at my local Woodcraft store, and delivered for free! The only thing I’d have liked would be for the holes for mounting wood blocks for the jaws to be recessed rather than me having to drill them.
I just installed this and it seems to be ok. I have a big record vice and the fit and finish are not as good as the record.
I really like this vise, it was easy to install and the quick release works great. No complaints and I can’t imagine making it any better.
It arrived quickly bagged and boxed in its original packaging. It came pre-greased and well oiled. It required a little bit of cleaning, but that was expected.
If I had any complaints, it would be that it didn’t include any mounting instructions/options. It obviously depends on the bench that it will be installed on, but some suggested mounting positions would be nice.
Great price for a quality tool.
This beast is amazing. I looked at this for quite some time before actually buying it. For me, it was hard to spend this much on a vise when I was getting by with clamps. Well that was pure ignorance. I have cut my planing and fitting times down by over half. And that says nothing of the ease in positioning the work piece. I put oak faces on this and they are holding up well. I tried to be cheap and put pine faces on and the clamping power and deflection of the wood was poor. Once I went to a good hardwood I was able to extend the jaws to 10 inches in length.
Works well, slips sometimes when I over tighten it, but has always worked flawlessly after that. Would buy it again.
I looked and looked at vises of this type and they were either too expensive and too expansive for my needs (modest DIY’er) or too cheaply made to be useful. I expect my tools to perform well and all my power tools are DeWalt or Porter-Cable, so when I found this vise it looked like a perfect fit for my needs and new work bench. It is heavy and although I got installed single handedly, another helper would be helpful. Once installed it performs perfectly and does exactly what I need it to do. For the price I am well pleased.
Vice arrived on time and was as advertised. I have only used it for3 weeks but it works great for me and should do the job for the hobby wood worke
Seems very sturdy, I added some wood to the jaws in a couple minutes, drilled some holes in the work bench and installed 1/2″ lag bolts and I was ready to go. It came with some grease on the moving parts but I added more just to be safe.
Nice little vice,works like a charm and easy to install.
Great product, great value. Seems much more expensive than it is.
High quality vise that does the job. Will need to attach hardwood blocks to each flange which is the one problem. Holes for wood blocks are provided but since the bench side holes are not threaded, attaching a block was a bit more difficult than necessary.
I recessed the base of the vice into my workbench so that it was flush with the edge of the bench.
Works like the factory says it does, a great vice
This was the best woodworking vise that I could find on amazon and It works great. Best for the money
