Overview
The Wilton Tradesman Bench Vise, model 1765, is a bolt down shop vise with a 6-1/2 inch wide jaw and a 4 inch maximum jaw opening, finished in gray. It is built to hold wood or metal stock steady on a workbench during sawing, filing, drilling or hand fitting.
With no seller description or spec sheet supplied beyond the title, the jaw width and opening are the two numbers that matter most for fit. A 4 inch opening covers most hand tool work but is a hard ceiling on stock thickness, and the 6-1/2 inch jaw sets how wide a piece can be gripped evenly across its face.
- 6-1/2 inch jaw width
- 4 inch maximum jaw opening
- Model 1765, gray finish
- Bolt down bench mounting
Who it's for
Home shop users and hobbyists who need a general purpose bench vise for wood or metal work. Not aimed at machinists needing a swivel base or pipe jaws, since neither is mentioned for this model.
Pros and cons
- Wide 6-1/2 inch jaw for gripping larger stock
- 4 inch opening handles most general shop material
- Gray finish resists the shop grime a bare cast finish shows
- 4 inch opening caps how thick a workpiece it can hold
- No listed swivel base, so positioning is fixed once bolted down
Performance notes
The 6-1/2 inch jaw width sets how much of a workpiece face gets even clamping pressure, while the 4 inch maximum opening is the ceiling on how thick a piece it can hold. The throat depth below the jaws gives clearance for material that needs to hang past the jaw line, which matters for sawing or filing near an edge.
