I purchased a J head Bridgeport that came with a vise. It has lots of drill and machining marks but that’s ok.
I recently endured a massive slip while machining and buggered up my job. The screw seems smooth and locks up ok but how can you tell when there may be movement once it locks?
Dumb question?
If I buy a new vise this one will come in handy as a secondary holding devise. That brings up the other question.
Spending close to $1,000 on a $1,500 mill doesn’t make sense.
What are two leading Asian brands that work just fine?
Thank you.
