I just returned a Grizzly 3" toolmaker's vise this morning,it was missing the V block accessory and it didn't seem to have powerful clamping power for medium machining.
I realized what I need is a Kurt style vise for my mini mill,a 3" vise seems to be the right size for the small table . 2" is too small and 4" I think will be too big.
I searched the net for a while and most of the Kurt style vises in my price range ($150 to $200) are made in China and seem to have been manufactured in the same factory, I finally found a 3" vise made by Palmgren that seem to fit the bill :

I was wondering if any of you have had one like it and /or if you've heard of this make, what is your overall opinion of such a vise , I would appreciate your comments very much.
