    Rockler center drilling vise

    I looked at one of the new vises yesterday and today I got an e-mail coupon for 25% off on one item. I pulled the trigger and bought one.
    I have one of the Woodcraft toggle vises and like it but it won't take a 2X2 stopper blank. I haven't used the new one yet but it seems to work very smooth and the construction is beautiful. Now I have to make a sub base for it to clamp to the DP table.

      And I gotta get by with a squeeze clamp and two chunks of 2x4...

      Let us know how the thing works out, Dick...

          Dick,
          Would you have the code for the 25% off of one item?

          Thanks in advance

              It's part of a sale they have going on through Friday. Coupon Code 3002.

              I picked up that vise recently as well. I haven't had much time to do anything in the shop, but I liked how you won't have to adjust the vise for different size blanks, as you would for the toggle vice Woodcraft has. I also like the drill bit storage available is you build a drawer for the vise...

                  The coupon code is 3002 but my coupon said "Good only at the Seattle Retail Store"

                      Mine is code 3002 also, but the coupon says "Valid on in-stock items at Rockler retail stores only." Nothing about a particular store.

                      Bad decisions make good stories.

                          Beware of price increase

                          The coupon states that it was only good in stores. I bought it as well but was a little bummed. Friday morning the vise price changed from $80 to $90. It was the last day of the sale and I was leaving town anyway so I bought it. ~$67 after the coupon seem pricey but I picked up a edge routing dust collector attachment for $10 which was 1/2 off.
                          I was told at the store that the catalog, internet and retail operations are separate, but it looked like I just caught the wrong side of a price increase. The store has matched internet pricing in the past, so I don't know the whole story.
                          I'm looking forward to using the vise though.

                              We just did the same thing. The Woodcraft vise is a complete piece of crap. This one is solid and clearly can't loosen up like the Woodcraft one does regularly.

                                  I can't wait to use this vise.... Unfortunately, my little benchtop drill press doesn't have enough room for it!

                                  Now it looks like I'm in the market for a floor stander....
