I just received my Shars 440V vise. I know most suggest the Glacern, and it certainly looks very nice, but after shipping the Shars came out to be about $50.00 cheaper.

Mine came with an inspection sheet showing that it beat all of it's tolerances.
Bed Height was + 0.0001" of 2.25"
Parallelisim: Vise Bed to Vise Base was 0.0001"
Perpendicularity: Fixed Jaw to Vise Bed was 0.0004" (tolerance is 0.0005")
Parallelism: Fixed Jaw to Keyway is -0.0001". (I measure this in the video below)

It came with 2 keys to place on the bottom of the vise to help seat it in the slots of the mill table. The keys fit perfectly into my X3's table. I made a little video of the results of installing the vise on the table, without tramming at all.
