Hunting 6" anti tilt jaw vise

No word from Enco today meaning they haven't shipped. Still don't know if it had to go truck freight or by free ups, fingers still crossed.
 
I bought the Interstate 5" with swivel base from Enco today . Not a Kurt but with 20% off and free delivery(I was asssured by a rep the 65lb vise would be shipped free) its $200 to my door. All important sufraces(bed, jaws, jaw faces, etc) precision ground, to what degree of precision we shall see.

With Enco, usually if you weren't required to pay for freight during checkout & a rep did not call you about your order then your good. Enco sends the shipping notification with tracking the day after it ships. if you ordered earlier today it most likely did ship today.
 
Sure enough, they sent me an email last night and it should be here wed. That email confirms it has been packed and shipping numbers generated. You don't get that without finalizing payment. It confirms I got 20% off AND free shipping! Now that's a bargain. Now we cross our fingers for a quality vise. I hate pulling the Chinese trigger, wincing and waiting to see if it's going to blow up in my face. Wish me luck.
 
$175ish to my door. Casting is rough and finish is rough. Not an acme lead screw. Swivel is indeed abt 1/2 the material as my Bport swivel. On the plus side it feels like it clamps tighter than all get out. I hope to find it's accurate as well as ugly as sin Indian craftsmanship. fingers crossed.
