Wanted: 4" milling machine vise

Marty Feldman said:
Not cheap chinese, and not $300+ either. Rotating base not needed. Quality & accuracy wanted, cosmetics not so much.

Kurt has a scratch & dent section. I bought a scratch & dent, & I saved a lot of money.

Limited supply, so be ready to act quickly!

From time to time we have factory flaws or returns that we can offer at a discounted price. The flaws will not effect the functionality of the product.

+ 1 on the Kurt Scratch & Dent option, I bought my 6 that way, saved close to $200 and there was only one tiny blemish on it.
As recall, Kurt tends to items to the S&D page at the beginning of the week but it's sort of sporadic.

As far as the OP's desire for high quality at low price, the only way is find a good used vise. Here's an eBayer that has Kurts 7 available:

But with a milling machine, custom hold downs are a breeze. Plus you can use that vise on its side!
 
Too bad they don’t offer it without the mostly unnecessary, swivel base.

I can vouch for this.

I just received the 3" Kurt clone and am very happy with it. Happy enough that I also bought the 4" above.

Wasn't sure if the 4" would be too big for the little Franken mill Im building, and the 3" was cheap enough that if it didn't work or I hated it it would be no big loss.

Turns out it does work and I don't hate it.
