Good first vise.

Posted by Samuel on 12th May 2012

I bought this recently for the CT054 knee mill. Truthfully, it's a little small for this mill, but the tilting aspect of the vise got my attention. I figured it would be easier to adjust the vise rather than the large (and heavy) mill head. It bolted easily to table with the clamp kit (B200). The action is smooth, when clamping a workpiece, it goes from lightly snug to *tight* in about a quarter of a turn. The casting quality seems good and the ways and faces of the vise are well machined. I've milled mild steel flat bar with no tool chatter. (Making a better tool rest for my cheap bench grinder).
