Mystery Kurt 3" vise -- hydraulic? pneumatic? Can anyone ID this thing?

[Meta Key]

What is unique about the new Kurt DX4? Does it open wider

That's what caught my eye -- the opening is about twice that of the D4. A 4" vise that opens to about 8" would be a good thing. Sometimes ya just can't quite fit a workpiece into a 4" opening..

I agree. For the size of the Kurt D40, I was disappointed that it did not open wider. My 3” toolmakers vise opens over 4” and that was the main reason I got rid of the D40. It’s obviously more robust than my toolmakers vise but I don’t need to hold anything that secure with a mini mill
