A decent wood vise but there are some points to consider. The vise came with threaded holes to attach you own wood blocks - however the holes do not align from one jaw to the other, so you need to drill the holes for your wood blocks before you attach the vise to your work table - or you need to make a template for each jaw.
Also, the casting of fixed jaw (the one that you screw into you table) had over an 1/8" differene in thickness between the right and left sides. In order to mount the vise parallel to your work table, you'll need to check this out and shim appropriately.
No taper on the jaws, so may cause uneven pressure under certain clampings.

The vise was poorly cast and machined right out of the box. The first time I tried to clamp a piece of wood, the jaws slipped with almost no effort. On further examination, I found the quick release mechanism was badly designed and even more poorly assembled. There was simply no way to adjust it so it wouldn't slip. This is an example of cheap Chinese manufacturing at its worst.

This is a Heavy, solid vise that locks down and stays put. The quick release is a great feature and works fairly well (sticks just a little). The only problem I have with this vise is the dog. It sometimes doesn't lock down very well even when I crank the wing nut as hard as I can. I might modify the dog to include a lock washer. Otherwise, this vise is very well made, great fit and finish.
