Workshop Mounting Fixture

Wilton CS3 3-inch cross slide drill press vise mounts on machine tables using a five-bolt-lug base for repeatable positioning during drilling and light milling tasks. Cast side knobs secure small workpieces without marring surfaces. The cross-slide mechanism lets you move the workpiece in two axes under the spindle. Ideal for bench-top machinists and maintenance shops that need precise X-Y adjustment on a drill press.

Precision Adjustment Target

Suited for users who require fine table travel for hole patterns, slot work or light facing on small parts. Not intended for heavy milling loads, high-volume production clamping or oversized stock that exceeds the jaw capacity. Builders needing hydraulic locking, powered feed or larger jaw openings should look at other solutions.

Base Bolt Pattern

The 11693 model uses a five-lug mounting pattern that must match the drill press table drilling. Verify hole spacing before purchase to ensure direct fit without adapter plates.

Questions about this item

Will the 11693 vise's five bolt lugs match the mounting pattern on my existing drill press table?

The base has five bolt lugs designed for mounting on a machine table; compare their spacing with your table's hole pattern before installation.

How can I verify the cross slide movement is operating smoothly after mounting the Wilton CS3?

Turn the cast side knobs to move the jaws through their full travel in both axes; motion should be consistent without binding or excessive play.

Does the Wilton 11693 cross slide vise come with mounting bolts or do I need to supply my own hardware?

The vise includes the cast base with five bolt lugs and cast side knobs for clamping; mounting bolts for the machine table are not included.
