Don't let the price fool you. This is a very well made, smooth operating machinist vice. It has an easy to read protractor on it's swivel base. It's an ideal vise for a bench top milling machine, such as the Wen 33013 milling machine I own. The handle is a breaker bar design and removes to keep it out of the way when working. The vise is very similar to the Kurt vises I use at work, only smaller, which suits my needs in my own shop.
