I bought this vise On January 5 from Amazon. I used it a moderate amount of times with no complaints. The other day I was clamping a 1/4 in. rod and felt something give. The piece that secures the vise from rotating broke. On inspection the metal casting is of poor quality. I called shop fox and wouldn't you know there is no replacement part. I now have a vise that is totally useless. This vise is good for securing small items of plastic only. Don't waste your time or money. A real POS.
