I need to purchase a milling vise (4" or 5", hopefully <$150) to use on a recently acquired Jet JMD-18. I'm finding there are options that include a 360* swivel base, and others that don't. To my untrained eye, the vises on either option look the same, i.e., a regular vise just bolted to a swivel base.
My question, is there any value to getting the swivel base option, or should I just go for a fixed base vise?
