Is rapid acting the same as quick release

Yes, rapid acting is the same as quick release. Simply rotate the handle 1 turn counterclockwise and then pull or push the jaw of the vise.

I am quite sure that 'rapid acting' and 'quick release' are one and the same. My Wilton 79A has a mechanism that releases the clamping threads for quick sliding adjustment of the jaws over large distance. This release requires backing out (reversing the crank lever) about 1/2 turn before it fully releases, where the 79C "continuous acting" will require you to crank and crank to accomplish the same distance change. The only problem is there is a minor delay of about 1/2 turn with the 79A before the threads re-engage and it starts tightening again. I like the quick release, but you should try both mechanisms at a local store to determine which concept works for you. I am quite sure that 'rapid acting' and 'quick release' are one and the same.

Yes, it just takes a slight turn and pull of the handle to slide the face back or forward. I like this vice a lot. Andy Solter Woodworks

Jill, I am not sure about their use of "rapid acting" vs "quick release" but I think they are describing the procedure of opening up the jaws quickly....rather than turning the handle many many times to the left to open.....you simply turn it to the left one revolution then pull on the handle and the jaws open wide. The jaws may be closed just as quickly by doing the opposite. This saves a lot of time winding the handle about. Mine works great and was easy to install. Much much better than the "cheapie" brands. I also have another Wilton (very large) that has worked great for me for about 15 years.

I am not certain what "rapid acting" means. Quick Release on this Wilton vise means that if you have something clamped and turn the handle one quarter turn to the left (counter clockwise), the outer plate totally releases from the screw mechanism and you can manually move it out or in to reposition quickly the same work piece or a new one. To re-engage the screw, begin tightening to the right (clockwise) again. This is a lot faster than a non-quick release. I hope this helps.

I believe they mean the same thing. When you make one or two turns to loosen the vise, it disengages the screw and you can easily slide the jaw open or closed to quickly adjust the opening. The screw then immediately engages to tighten the jaws again. I have found this to be a very nice feature.

Not sure about the terminology, but I would think yes like the others who responded. It's a very well made smooth operating vise and would highly recommend it.
1780619
Yes, it is. Once pressure on the jaws is released you can then slide them in or out without turning the handle.

No. Rapid action means you can position the head by merely sliding it in and out then one or two turns of the screw to tighten on the stock. The release takes one turn of the screw then you can slide the head away from the stock.

Hi Nancy, This is not the same as "rapid rise yeast", just your regular yeast. I hope this helps :)

almost exactly, yet not totally. lol there is a pump action button on the side that effects a release inside, thats all i know.

A quick release only takes a minute or two. Letting the pressure come down naturally can take up to 20 minutes or more and a short quick release is still sometimes needed.

Quick is one of those terms that needs to be relative to something so an answer is difficult to give. Yes the pressure or vacuum is released but we have never measured the elapsed time vs the amount of pressure or vacuum. A tens of milliseconds would be my guess at half scale values.

Its what you prefer. Short fast strokes seem to work just fine for my projects.

These are quick hook and release, the 1st set I had were manual and hard for my company helping me to use. Like these very much.

No it not a quick release. I found this to be one of the better space bars.

Yes, it is quick and has smile and blink detection. Also has multiple burst modes for quick action shots.

It does not use a quick release system. It uses traditional nylon screws to attach. The nylon 'wing nut' is better than most as it has a larger 'wing' which makes it easy to tighten.

I haven't had a chance to use the trimmer yet. My plan is to have a single stage press with the Quick Trim and a progressive press for loading trying to eliminate changing the set up repeatedly. I think the Quick Trim will give a more accurate trim than any handheld or many of the other standalone trimmers. The actions to trim with the Quick Trim are basically the same as loading and will be natural for me during the process.I hope this helps.

I'd be inclined to use the spray. Quicker & looks like is as effective. Either will get the job done.

I think so but to be sure, go to the Rapid Fix website. It can answer all your questions and there are some really good demonstration videos.

I believe the valve is the same for both. The trigger is black for Seq,and gray for contact.

Odds are, no. This is what makes me angry about the industry at large. Evey manufacturer makes their own quick release system, and they are not compatible. Sometimes, one manufacturer will have two or three different lines all with separate quick release systems. Uhh!

Yes it is quick release. And in spite of what one reviewer said, this feature works flawlessly! Be prepared to handle a very heavy vise when you install it. You might even consider getting a second set of hands to help!

Yes mine came with the rapid load but the bump to feed which I purchased separately works much better.
