Precision vice - Gerardi vs Indexa vs Tuscan - any experience with these?

[paul4523]

Hi Paul
I got one of these https://www.bk-faserverbundtechnik.a...8dtdn1fc9dls67 with a height extension and find it quite useful. I'm only a hobbyist but it's quite solid and has a low profile (without the height extension) and the price wasn't too bad.

thanks for the suggestion, i would prefer fixed jaw as it would be easier to find the work zero

Personally, I wouldn't spend that much money on a vice for a 3040 machine.

Provided whatever stock you're using is thick enough, place a round bar between the moving jaw and the workpiece, then tap the work piece down.
If I remember in the morning, I'll try and dig out a book that has a couple diagrams.

please do, it would be handy to see that.
