OK,
I really wanted to purchase the Garrett-Wade quick release vise but they are on backorder and will not be in for over a month. So, I’m looking at the Veritas large front vise and it looks pretty nice and is a reasonable price. Anyone out there have this vise and are you happy with it?
Regards,
Buzzsaw

Buzzsaw....I have it, but have not yet installed it....I'll be curious to see what the concensus is....

Is it solid and appear to be well made? Did you also purchase the wooden handle?Regards,

Buzzsaw:
Yes it appears to be well made. I did not buy the wood handle, as I wanted to use walnut so I will make my own. One of the other reasons I bought from Lee Valley is their great customer service. If this vise has any problems, or does not perform, they will stand behind it and make things right.....

bought it , installed it & use it no problems to date , who cares got 90 days to get used to it or get my money back including shipping
foxfire,
I actually was able to look at one at a Rockler this morning. It appears that you MUST have an apron on your bench to use this as there appears to be no back jaw. am i correct in assuming this? no big deal for me as I have a 4 3/4" piece of white ash 8/4 for my apron. do you possibly have a picture you can post of your bench with the veritas front vise installed? for the price it appears to be a great buy...Regards,
Buzzsaw
there several different ways to mount it .
I could send you a copy of the instructions if i had your mailing address .
