Customer Reviews for VEVOR Ball Vise, 3" Engraving Setting Tool, 360° Rotation Engraving Block Vise, 70 PCS Attachment Jewelry Engraving Block Tools Standard Block for Gemstone Inlay and Small-Scale Engraving

Watched a Youtube Video that rated this at number 3!! That was enough for me to purchase and what a purchase it was! Will definitely purchase another soon for a colleague..

Game changer. If you are making jewelry, you need this tool. Charlie Boost approved.

Works great!!... After taking it apart and cleaning all the packing grease off then apply a thin layer of machine oil.... Well worth the price D. Touchet

I haven't used it a ton yet, but it's a nice piece for start up.

The vice is well made. The attachments are the same as the GRC so if you wear them out you can upgrade the attachments by buying better-made ones.

Original GRS EQUIPMENT made in USA. BIG SURPRISE and fast delivery.

For the money this ball is a good value. Buyers will be much happier with the performance if they take it apart and give it a clean up. I did this by taking it apart removing all the oil, taking a file and removing all the sharp edged burs and bumps and putting small chamfer on all the sharp corners. I made a set of 220 and 320 grit sanding sheets for each half of the ball by cutting sheets in half and cutting a hole in the center for the center post to fit through. Put the ball back together ( with the bearing removed) with the sanding sheets in place and turn the halves against the sand paper for a while to smooth out these surfaces. I did this with the 220 and then 320 washed off both halves with solvent (WD40) and blew it all off with compressed air and wiped it down. Applied a thin film of teflon grease resembled the the ball, turned it a bunch to distribute the grease, then took it apart and wiped of all the excess. Reassembly with the bearing and the vise will spin 8 revolutions with one flick of the hand. When I got it it wouldn't make one full turn with the same effort. All in all I'm happy with this tool.

So this is not a high end GRS or Lindsay level quality but for the price it's great for a beginner or someone who is just engraving as a hobby. I read a lot of forums and reviews and half the people said these were total junk and to the pro who uses a lindsay or GRS everyday it probably is but for the begginer or someone who is just starting out and not sure they want to invest in an expensive vise I would say buy this and save your money for an airgraver.
