    Default drill press vice

    Just got one of these for my DP.

    Am trying to think of a way to attach it but also be able to quick release it.

    Has anyone else found a solution that allows you to be able to quickly attach and unattach a DP vice?

    cheers

    I just use 3/8 wingnuts.....thats if I attach it as I find you can get a decent grip on the handle.

    Default I think I'm with the program now

    aaaaaaaaRRRRRRRRr

    I think I'm with it now!!!.........................If you've made your own custom table (Highly Recommended) I'd be using T-Track. That way all you'd have to do is simply slide the Drill press vice in or out as required However probably only a little less hassle than Ians suggestion.

    For me though I'll be going with the T Track in a custom table...........I'll do anything to make things easier!!!!

    G'day redback,

    I'm at a bit of a loss too!!

    Only time I've ever used it bolted down was when making a production run of Stainless steel brackets for a boat job. So I guess it's wingnuts on coach bolts in most cases. Need more info if you've got a particular problem to solve

    I have mine mounted on a piece of timber with modified T-nuts and slide them into the T-track (sail track) of my drill press extension table when needed.

    This old photo posted under my workshop shows it hanging on the wall ( bit hard to see being white on white ) near the ceiling next to the SCMS together with the drill press extension table.

    I use 2 10mm bolts and wingnuts (with big washers) on the end of the bolts that poke through to under the table.
    I can tighten the wingnuts good enough by hand to keep the vice fixed in place for most work.
