Here are my two grinding vises. The larger one is a 3" and the smaller one is a 2". I purchased the 2" vise off ebay quite awhile ago. Didn't give much for it and thought it would be handy for holding smaller pieces or something that didn't require the 6" mill vise. Also, it would possibly provide some precious, extra z-space under the quill on the mill. The 3" vise came with the mini mill I purchased from my friend Sherman last August. Its quite a bit heavier. Both are in very good condition. In fact the cross pin to adjust the jaw opening on the 3" vise is quite stiff to remove so I doubt it has had much use. Thanks for looking!

I have a 3" version that I got with my first mill, a HF micro mill. I still use it and have yet to mount the (too large) 4" Kurt knockoff.
Full of ideas, but slow to produce parts

Very handy. I'd rather have too much tooling than not enough!

That is like the vise I had my 2nd year Machine Tool students manufacture.
