Hi,
I bought my vise from lms when I bought my mill. It's a 3" Kurt style Chinese vise. It wasn't their most expensive nor their cheapest. I think it was $140ish. I'm not happy with it. The right side of the jaws touch and the left side are still 1/16" apart. I made some adjustments and its a bit better but it's still not right. I can't afford $300 for a used Kurt at the moment. Well I probably could but I have other things higher on the list of priorities. Plus I'd like to buy a new vise when I upgrade. Is there any other quality 3" vises at a lower price point? Something around $200 new would be ideal. Any recommendations on a quality 3" kurt style vise under $250?
