I have a 3040 style cnc and am getting tired of my cheap £10 drill press that raise the part up whenever I tighten it.

I dont have much Z clearance so I need a low profile vice and have narrowed it down to 3 contenders. all are 100mm Width and 100mm jaw opening. It looks like the cheaper ones copy the Gerardi, not sure if indexa and tuscan are just chinese knock offs. I know Gerardi is made in Italy.

Gerardi Standard Series 100 - £536 (Overall height approx 63mm)
