Steve,
I finally received my vise on Friday - it got hung up in Kansas due to the
weather. I like the vise. It has an excellent finish, a great design and
is good and solid. I like the flat top and the larger diameter. I makes it
easier to grasp and turn than my old 5" Pepe ball vise. I took the pin plates
off to make it a little lower as I usually use a block of wood with some
Thermoloc or double sided "golf grip tape" on it to hold a coin or pendent. I can now change my Leica A60 microscope objective from .75x to .63x which give me more working room and allows me to raise my drill press table a little for some more "knee" room. I'm very happy with the vise. It works well with my Shimpo 8" turntable. Thanks for the fine product.
Scott
