Baby Kurt

I have 3, 4 in Kurts, 2 modded to set flush side by side.

I think I have a similar (RF-45) mill & when I was looking at vises the only thing I didn't like about the Kurts & clones (aside form price) is they gobble up a lot of vertical height. I guess the heavy casting also means stability & but a deal came up & I ended up getting a Bison 4" on sale which is super accurate & quite low profile. Unfortunately I don't believe they make this version anymore (maybe explains the blowout sale at the time). A similar one to the Bison dimensionally looks to be this GS. I've heard good things about it, but big $$ again so choose your poison. (These are Canuck Bucks so multiply it by 0.72 todays FX). Also attaching visual comparison of Kurt 4" to Bison 4" to show difference. The 5 & 6 get bigger of course.

Thanks all, looks like the GMT 5" is the right one me.

The GMT just came on sale here a 1-2 months ago, like 35% off, maybe more. But I cant recall now where I saw it, maybe a Canadian distributer e-flyer. Check around. Sometimes if they still have the inventory, they will honor the price. I have not seen the GMT up close but in certain respects it looks like my Bison. One difference between these & Kurts/clones is the vise jaws are back beveled into the body. I'm not sure if that further assists clamping force geometry? But 2 things of note:
- you cant use those little 'stops' that bolt onto the lip like you see on rectangular jaws. at least without mods. I made my own stop that is a lot more robust & universal, so that didnt bother me much
- jaw replacement & aftermarket. I see all these nice aftermarket Kurt-standard jaws like grooved & soft jaws etc. With the bevel backed jaws you are either locked into their system or a bit more work to make your own.

Also I'm, not sure if swivel bases are available if that's a consideration.
