Workmate WM425 vertical clamp truly vertical?

Dec 25, 2003 2 Replies

I bought a WM425 and have a question about the vertical clamping. I find that once I pull the lever and make the bottom plank vertical, there is a small horizontal "play" in the panel and it does not stay rigidly vertical. (It tilts backwards slightly by 1/8 inch at the top of the panel.) Therefore when I clamp something, the vertical panel tilts backwards slightly and is not truly vertical. Is this a "standard" feature or does it look like a defect I need to get fixed? thanks - Ram.


I bought the same model today and had to take it back for a replacement. When I went to assemble it the wood work surface had a huge amount of mold or a fungus growing from it!!!

First time I have ever seen something like that
