Best vise for Shoptask?

[JPower6210]

Hey all- this is my first post. I am brand new to the world of metal working. I recently picked up a Shoptask 1720 Gold for a reasonable price and have been cleaning and fine tuning. I need to get a vise for the machine, and am looking for guidance on brand and size- I would love to get a Kurt, but with a baby on the way, the budget is less than I would like. That being said, I also want to buy something of decent quality. Any advice or recommendations would be much appreciated. Thanks!

John

If you can find a Kurt clone for cheap ( even used), I'd go with the largest one that will fit your table. You do not need a high dollar vice on that machine.
