CatemRC 3'' Cross Slide Drill Press Vise — 2-Way XY Compound with 90° Rotary Table for Benchtop Milling

Precision and versatility for compact workspaces

The CatemRC 3" Cross Slide Drill Press Vise brings multi-axis control to your benchtop setup, helping you position small parts with confidence as you drill, bore, or mill. With 3.15" (80 mm) of X travel and 2.64" (67 mm) of Y travel, you gain room to accommodate short stock and tight features while maintaining accuracy across each operation. The adjustable jaw opening up to 3.15" (80 mm) and a 2.95" (75 mm) jaw width provide a solid grasp on common small-work fabrication tasks, all within a compact footprint that suits hobbyists and first-shop users alike.

For real-world use, think about how the setup might sit at the edge of your bench—ready to secure tiny brackets, fixtures, or selected stock as you pursue consistent hole spacing and alignment. The vise is designed to complement drill presses, mini milling machines, and other small machine tools, offering a practical path from rough stock to finished features without swapping equipment.

Practical setups you might explore

In a busy shop, you could clamp small brackets for precise hole patterns, then rotate the table to address angled features without re-fixturing. The combination of light weight and solid clamping helps you transition between tasks quickly, while the compact size leaves room for other tools in tighter spaces.

Whether you are enhancing a woodworking project, preparing metalworking fixtures, or setting up delicate experiments on a mini milling machine, this vise offers a flexible, non-committal path to cleaner, more repeatable results—without promising guaranteed outcomes, but with clear possibilities.
