User questions & answers

Question:	Does anyone know if this will fit on the fordom drill press? That uses the flex shaft as a motor
Answer:	For milling small parts you should be ok.
Question:	is compatible whit Wen 4208 8 in
Answer:	no pads on the jaws
Question:	Do you think this is rigid enough for a milling machine
Answer:	No much I’m afraid. You can check at Technatools and Pen State Industries for a Spindle adapter that goes from the chuck to a 18mm threaded spindle. If you are in the US it may be harder to find. Both technatoole and PSI are sold here on Amazon.
Question:	Will the face pads come off
Answer:	If it is 1” 8 TPI it will fit. Please double check the specs at Harbor Freight. I’m not sure if the small lathe is 1” 8 TPI.

User questions & answers

Question:	what is the distance between mounting holes
Answer:	If you mean will this vise fit on the platform of the Dremel Workstation #220-01, yes indeed. This is exactly why I purchased this vise to use under my workstation. You can get one or two bolts to line up with the slots on both parts to secure it. It is a very manageable size compared to a 4" drill press vise, and the price was outstanding.
Question:	Will this 3 " fit the dremel rotary work station
Answer:	I'm not sure. It's pretty tough and I have wrenched on it pretty good. That said its not a forged steel vice like my grand father had but it's not $200 either. For the $$ it's good.
