I'm not cheap, but 400.00 bucks for a vise is a little out of my financial reach, so I have to use cheap vise's and face mills. But if and when I can find a decent buy on a good vise, or insert mill I'll snag it.
But for some reason I find that the ones on evil bay that start off cheap always end up at about new stock price, so I got chinese instead of italian for tool's.
but back to the vise, its the same vise that was shown in the write up, and it does pretty good. what I was wanting to know about an the reason for wanting to reread the thread was did he smooth out the spot in the movable jaw that the wedge rides against, and from what I could find no he didn't. but mine was the same as his with the wedge being rough and unmilled so I filed it smooth.
