I'm in the market for a decent vise for my drill press. I pretty regularly need to bore accurate holes in small-ish workpieces (both wood and plastic), and I'm getting tired of clamping makeshift fences to my wobbly drill press table. I need a dedicated drill press vise that allows for accurate positioning on both the X- and Y-axes. The ability to add non-marring jaws would be a big plus.
I'm looking for something that adjusts easily in both directions, but I'm seeing prices all over the map, from $50 to over $500. I'm guessing you get what you pay for, but it's not like I'm using this thing every day. I just need something that's functional and more stable than my makeshift clamp-ups.
What do you folks recommend?
