Yost Tools F10WW Bar Clamp

Very good vise just what I expected, good quality will work fine

Vise is really sturdy, installation can be a bit tricky but overall it’s very strong and doesn’t have play.

I've had quite a few vises and "woodworking" vises, but this this is just a whole new animal. I've had a couple of end vises, moxon/twin screw vises, and a shoulder vise, but the 10" yost model is almost like a completely different class. I would not put the 10" model on a bench that isn't absolutely "stout" I had to retrofit my current bench for thickness (went from 1" to 2" thickness). I installed an 18" x 4" x 1.5" chop on this guy fully anticipating using spreader clamps to avoid racking. So far, this really hasn't been necessary. I was a devout shoulder vise advocate (used with a t-track and hold down clamp for edge work and at times, deadmen) primarily for dovetailing and other vertical work. I was hesitant to switch, but it doesn't even rack enough to justify reinstalling my shoulder vise. I chose this option to try to "get away with" a single vise, and haven't had a second thought. What drew me to this vise was the size and Yost's reputation (cost was just a bonus). Fit and finish is excellent. Threading is smooth as butter. Does not include handle. I don't turn, so I just went the hickory blank/draw knife/belt sander route. No problem. No instructions, but this is about as straightforward as it gets when it comes to vise installation. One final note: With the size of the screw, consequently, the thread size, it almost eliminates the need for a quick release mechanism. A professional woodworker may miss the extra couple seconds spent, but a professional woodworker is probably looking for a different class of vise altogether. Advances VERY quickly.

Tiene una contribución muy robusta, una buena carrera de apriete, lo que no me gusta es que no trae algún instructivo de instalación y la verdad no se si está bien instalado

I was building a Moravian workbench, but wanted to use a modern face vise instead of a leg vise. I picked this because it was light enough for me to attach to my bench top but still have the portability features of a Moravian bench. I was very pleasantly surprised by how well this vise works, and the value for quality of the parts. All the parts mate and align well. The instructions have some typos (e.g. the page with the instructions for the 10" version refers to the product with the 9" model number), but if you follow the instructions you will get a nicely installed vise with extra allowance that they recommend you have. (I was originally skeptical and added extra allowance, and ended up with double when I first did a dry fit. So the instructions where right on.)

Item received in good condition and as according to purchase request. Quality product no doubt, to install it need to dismantle face plate and vise body.( good if there's a template) Heavy product. I'm happy to purchase this. Now time to work.
