Sealey CV6 Cross Vice 150mm

Hi
Great threads.

This there a cross vice that do not need

"Polishing"

Cannot find one in the UK.

I'm sure it'll work just fine for a drill press, although it wouldn't hurt to strip it down and clean off any over spray etc. Pricey though, even with the usual UK premium.
 
I don't know anything about them but it would seem to me that a compound table with a separate vice would be much more versatile. It would let you strap odd shaped parts directly to the table or mount the vice and go that way.

+1 for this proposal.
Also, the price of an X-Y table is not a lot higher than that cross vise but, in matter of workholding, a table offers you the same flexibility of a mill.
Look at this one, for example: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271467929912
 
Sealey is just another old American name that has been bought(?) by the Chinese and resurrected. The Sealey Co. originally made some tools for Sears Roebuck. IIRC the made thermos bottles mostly. My 1963 Craftsman Drill press was made by King Sealey.

I may be wrong here if anyone wants to correct me.

I don't think these brand names are usually bought by the Chinese. They are bought by American marketing types who then hire Chinese companies to help them exploit the "franchise" as they call it.
