personally, i prefer the mass of a heavy engraving vise to the micro block or XL sized vises. The more mass the less vibration. Very important when engraving with hammer & chisel or pneumatic handpieces.
Thanks Lee! It's going to be a fun 2 weeks in 2019! I will be posting more info soon.
Thanks @Cloudy ....I agree, some homegrown GMs is a good thing :)
I would also advise getting a larger vise. There's no way I could do my work with a micro ball. Stone setters use and love them, but for engraving? Not me.
