Hello all,
I will be finalizing an order for a PM-30MV this week. I am kind of stickler for work/tool holding and am vise shopping. I really like the Kurt DX4, but they are expensive and hard to come by. I placed an order with All Industrial Tools and got an email that the expected ship date was in August, so I cancelled that order. I've looked at the Glacern vises, but have heard mixed things about them. I must say I like the 6.5" opening on the Kurt 4" DX4. The question is this: given the PM-30MV is a chinese machine and expectations must be managed, is it even worth spending the extra cash for a top of the line vise? After all, if the vise is far more capable than the machine it's on, it's kind of overkill, isn't it?
Thanks!
Dave
