Vise Sizing

[EdK]

I recently got a 4" vise for my mill. I've got a 6" Kurt vise but I can't lift it off the mill table without risk of injury so I got the 4" for the projects that don't need the capacity of the Kurt vise. Most of my projects don't need the 6" vise. Here's the link to the 4" vise I got from Precision Matthews.

I'm very happy with the vise. I ran a DTI across the fixed jaw and got less run-out than the Kurt vise has. Actually, I got no detectable run-out.
