I picked up a Dayton, 2" Precision Toolmaker's Screwless Vise.
I must say, I am very happy with the fit and finish. I haven't checked it on my surface plate yet but it was clean, not stinky with gritty used oil. The smooth operation and lock-up are great.
I paid less than you would think.![IMG_1237[1].JPG](https://www.hobby-machinist.com/data/attachments/234/234156-69af56e04a40d8c2167cb67a355c6874.jpg "IMG_1237[1].JPG")

Used or new? In either case, it looks absolutely pristine.
Now just for fun, check post #10 in https://www.hobby-machinist.com/threads/screwless-precision-vises.55048/#post-455018

I show how to make that kind of vise easier to use. Enjoy!

I am just starting out in the machining world. I picked up a 13” SB lathe and a Jet JVM 836 mill. I finally just paid off the 2 pieces of equipment and decieded to buy my first measuring tool. I bought a Starret 0-1 mic from a person from my home town in NY. I sent him a check and he is getting it out in the mail tomorrow.
So, today I stopped by an older friends house on my lunch break for a visit and mentioned I bought a mic. He said come out to the shop and opened a drawer in his tool box and said go ahead and have these I will never use them. What a great guy!
Thanks, Eric

Was looking around for a CTGP tool holder and found one on Ebay for $18. A Widia. Yes that right. Immediataly bought it and went back to buy more. Well you can see here. Will be interesting if I recieve it or not.
