I've used it in the past for several things and it always made due, but now I'm growing frustrated with it. It has a lot of racking top to bottom and side to side.

I know anything is going to have racking and I don't mind using spacers for side to side. But the top to bottom is annoying. There is a LOT of slop in this vise where the rods go through the cast base. The threads work great as does the quick release, no complaints there. My question is Are they all this bad?

Do I just need to taper the hell out of the clamping faces? Or are there some better, higher end, front vises that just work? Google Sponsor Google Sponsor. There are definitely higher end vises that work very well. There are 'vises' and 'vise hardware' and prices can be frightening. With the situation sometimes being that you do NOT get what you pay for, you are doing the right thing by tapping into the community here.

I'm sure you will get suggestions to go on a rust hunt for some quality "old-arn" and there are some finds out there but, that is not what you asked about. In the areas of vise hardware Lee Valley has some interesting offerings.

I have the large twin-screw as a front vise and really enjoy the lack of any racking while clamping things even at the outer edge. How you use a vise will influence what type of vise in which position is best for you. My bench is designed for a small twin screw at the tail but, I am having second thoughts. This is not a show stopper, just a factor in how you use the vise. I always forget. Is it the Woodriver Small Front Vise Of letter "S" or the letter "C" that is silent in the word scent? When the vice is most of the way in, is there a gap between the bracket at the far end of the rods and the bottom of the bench?

If so, try adding a long rub block to fill in the gap all along the rods. It can help keep the front jaw from dropping of it's own weight or from racking when the jaw is tightened on something that doesn't fill the whole jaw area. Pick the thickness to keep the rods parallel to the bench top along the full travel of the jaws. Thanks for the quick reply. I had debated a twin screw as well for many reasons. My bench top where I use this clamp is a hollowish torsion box design I may change that someday, but it's been good to me for what I do , so it would not be hard to bore out some clearance for screws.

For my solid top I have another setup. This is where I do most of my work. Will probably modify this top for a end vise at some point too.

That will most likely be a twin screw for ease of adaptation. I like those you posted above. I've been looking at ones like the Yost but they say for benches up to 3" thick. I assume this is only an issue if you want the metal flush with the top of the bench and that going another inch isn't a huge issue.
