Jimbo - Thanks for the video review. Seeing the vise in front of you on the bench and the comments you made regarding the vise helped me make a final decision between The two vises I was reviewing. The Yost 750-DI 5 inch and the Wilmar MV10 5 inch. Thank you for the unboxing review, just placed order for the Yost 750-DI 5 inch.
watching this video made me very happy with my purchase (same model)! I finally got my workbench in (I figured the first one I should buy, the next one I'll make!) and bought the bolts with a higher grade than required and will try to mount it tomorrow. Thanks for reassuring me on my purchase! I'm gonna go watch your install video now!
Not that it matters now you probably retired the old vide but the issue you mentioned with having to turn it a rotation and a half before the jaws move can be fixed. Whatever it had to secure the lead screw probably needed to be adjusted or a washer may have been needed. Nothing worse than a loose lead screw.
Did he say he was doing woodworking? If so, thats the wrong kind of vise. The first thing I'd do with this vice would be to buy the accessory flat jaw pads or get some aluminum angle for working with flat items that have soft surfaces. When a machinists vise has slop in the screw,mechanism, you can usually adjust the nut that the screw feeds into using shims..
It looks like when you are twisting the vice head around to one of the 12 points, there is some play in the vice head when the pin is locked down. Can you give us a demo on how well it works with material and whether there is any play while holding material?
Matthew Andrew Thanks for watching Andrew, Yes I am putting together a demonstration video soon. Just to let you know now, when there is material in the vise and it is locked down it is solid as a rock!
+Matthew Andrew When you tighten the vice ; it locks up and is not moving anywhere. Some similar vices require you to tighten the vice to lock the head in position. The twelve positions are handy to position basically.
Hi there. Saw this at just the right time as I'm looking for a high quality, heavy weight rotating vice. Do you know where is the vice made? Thanks for you great videos.... Mark
sorry, but this vise is not made in USA according to Yost website. Yost has a list off vises made in USA...and this is not on list. sorry. This model vise is made in China. Still looks like good quality.
Cast steel still has better impact and shock absorption properties than ductile iron so I suggest you don't go and beat this too much because it will still Crack. Cast iron is the worst. Forged steel is still the king of all types of vices anyways.
Are you sure Cast Steel is better than Ductile Iron for a vise? I did some research and it looks like Ductile Iron is pretty good. Sure the Cast Steel can probably stretch a little more and impact resistance is a little more but it is a vise not an anvil. Here is some research... www.pentictonfoundry.com/news/ductile-iron-vs-steel/
Most wood lathes are cast from ductile iron for their shock absorpting capabilities & vibration dampening. Most anvils are made from ductile iron for the same reasons.

Forgot I was on UA-cam for a second. The production value is awesome on this vid!
Very good video, I noticed the vise has a four bolt pattern for bolting it to the bench.
I'm liking it never heard of before by the looks and the size I imagine it's expensive but need one thanks for the video too
This looks a lot like the harbor freight vice. lol. But at 63 lbs its almost twice the weight of the harbor freight one. How much was this thing?
+Love2boat92 Thanks for watching! defiantly is not harbor freight! Yost is an awesome vise. About $275 Jimbos garage!
Less than 200 bucks at many places now. 65k psi ductile iron is pretty stout

my jaws are sloppy as hell, I am contacting Yost after seeing your video. I will report back on their customer service.
How did it go ?
Super Heavy=Super Expensive. But probably worth every penny, Wish I could afford one.

Nice I just got lucky and pick one up from home depot website for $150 on cyber week. be here soon.. I'll give it my intake.
+KANO R. Wow! Great price on a great vise! You will love it! Jimbos garage!
Is it solid cast?
How strong is the casting?
How durable is the casting?
65,000 psi ductile iron. For the money it's a great vise.
Lol what damage is going to get done to heavy vises and presses etc? There’s not even an ounce of plastic in it!
