Vice comparison for mid precision work

[a-d]

Have you had any luck adjusting the "keep plate" on your ebay vice? It's shown in the third image on the arceurotrade page you linked. Snugging this up may help with the jaw lift you describe.

I saw this instruction and tried that but it did not have much effect. Even after adjusting the keep plate, the jaw lifts considerably.

I have used the Arc Euro type 2 vice for years and never noticed any lift. The screw pulls in and down at 45 degrees. I prefer it over the conventional vice you mention as it is ground on all sides and can be used on its side or as a precision square for supporting larger pieces against on outer edge. Considering buying another to fix long pieces so would recommend them. You might see them used on my video channel on YouTube. Hope this helps.

That's good to know. Thank for the info. And I also watched some of your videos and saw you using that vice.

BTW, your CNC build is very impressive!!
