Built just like my 2 Kurt 6" Anglock vises from what I can see.
I had a Chinese made 6" copy that I took apart to look at and found they didn't bother to machine the reverse angle and put a hemispherical spot and half-ball piece in there. Another reason I had disassembled it was that I found it was .002" out of parallel on the sliding surfaces of the base when it was mounted on it's swivel base. I checked it again without the swivel base and it was within a 1/2 thousandth of an inch in the 5" sweep.
I had paid $60 for it and sold it off for the same after I got my second Kurt. One is a D675, the other a D60. Both are nearly dead flat. I have no swivel bases for them but don't need one because I can just use the Prototrak control to cut an angle.
