Vise squareness question

Send it back and buy a Kurt, Glacern or Orange
 
I know it's a bit off topic, but why? The provided handle should provide pressure in the tons. Using a longer bar seems more than a bit extreme. But I am also a noob, so perhaps I can learn something. :)
I quite agree, it is a good way to break the needle thrust bearing.

That I did, but it does not relate to any specific product so far as I can see. Imagine how much distortion that much force would impose on the vise, to say nothing of the machine table.
 
If you look closely at the top of the right hand column in the Kurt table, it says D810... a $1600 vise. :eek 2:
