Which Vise for HF Drill Press?

[Freshmeat]

I have a Harbor Freight 8" drill press I've been using for a few years, now… it's been sufficient as-is for my random needs, but I'm about to start a project that will need better stability, so I'd like to get a vice for it. However, HF doesn't seem to offer one any more.

Are any of you guys using this drill press? What vise would you recommend to use with it?

Small world, I just bought a NOS HF 4" cross slide DP vise off CL from a lady in Denham a week ago. I plan to use it on a Delta DP but I need to make an adapter plate to fit the table. I also have a 8" HF DP and just tried the cross vise on there but it was too big for the 8" DP's table.

You're not helping me out at all here!

I can further not help by saying that I saw two standard drill press vises at a garage sale in Central yesterday.

You may try the flea market in Prairieville, I have seen them there too.

Use-enco.com has them forsale. It will cost more than your drill press is worth.
HF sold them for years. I have not looked in a long time.
Look on E bay. There are cheap ones that will be $20 or less. The good ones can be hundreds of dollars.

What level do you want?

Or you can type "drill press vise" into Google...
