I expected this to be a crappy Chinese vise I used to have 15 years ago. I used a Kurt DX6 before so I’m comparing this $120 to a $700+ vise. It’s not a Kurt, but surprisingly…it’s the same in regards to functionality. It holds a part with good accuracy. Parts do not shift at all with heavy clamping from one edge. Not even 0.0001”. Yes. Tenths gauge is rock solid when I put half my body weight on the vise screw. Just like a Kurt DX6. Make sure to wear gloves and spend an hour deburring all the knife edges it has. They will split your hand open easily. Moving the jaws isn’t as smooth. A Kurt glides like glass. This vise felt stiff. Lots of cleaning and using proper way oil helped. Just be glad there’s a good option like this if you’re just starting out. Great for a home gamer. I’m using it on my CNC. If you want a dual or triple vise setup on your table at home this starts to make a lot more sense. $1500 vs $250 is kind of a wild difference. Just make sure your table is big enough if you get the 6”. These vises aren’t small.
