Secure the Drill Press Vise to the drill press table. There are different styles of

operator’s manual for recommended securing method.
Vise Operation
Make sure vise selection (size and type) is appropriate for use and application. Larger
vises are readily available through Yost Vises. Never force or use cheater bars, pipe
extensions on the screw handle of the vise as this places excessive pressure on the vise

beyond the vises rated capacity (jaw opening).

Step 5: Close the vise by turning the vise handle clockwise until the item is snug
between the serrated jaws.
Step 6: Continue to tighten the screw handle until you can no longer move (twist) the
clamped item. Do not over tighten as this may damage item and / or the vise.

to release the item.
