Westward 8-Inch Cross Slide Drill Press Vise

The Westward 10D734 is an 8-inch cross slide vise built for drill press work. Its stationary base and 7 7/8-inch jaw width give a firm grip on workpieces for accurate hole placement. Machinists and fabricators who need precise X-Y positioning without unclamping will find it suited to repetitive drilling tasks. The 6 11/16-inch overall height fits most standard drill presses.

Thermals Noise and Power Draw

This is a manual hand tool with no motor, electronics or cooling system. It produces no heat, draws no power and operates silently. The only force comes from the user turning the lead screws to move the cross slide or close the jaws. There are no fans, pumps or electrical connections to consider.

Upgrade From Fixed Base Vises

The cross slide replaces a standard fixed-jaw vise when you must drill multiple holes in a precise pattern without re-clamping. It upgrades workflow by letting you shift the workpiece in two axes using the hand cranks. The jump is worth it for batch work, pattern drilling or any job where hole-to-hole accuracy matters more than raw clamping speed.

Questions about this item

How is the 8 in cross slide drill press vise mounted to the drill press table?

Bolt the stationary base to the table using the mounting slots; the step people miss is aligning the cross slide travel parallel to the drill chuck before tightening the bolts.

What maintenance will the cross slide mechanism need over time?

Clean chips from the slide ways after each use and apply a light coat of way oil to the dovetails to keep movement smooth and prevent premature wear.

What is the first limit reached when drilling repeated holes in hard steel?

The 7 7/8 in jaw width determines the maximum workpiece size; exceeding it forces an unstable setup that loses accuracy before the vise itself fails.
