Re: Tormach 5" CNC Vise or Glacern 5" Standard Vise for PM-30
But how tall are your vises from the table to the top of the jaw? (stock jaw)
I am using the Shars CNC Lock Vise 6". It is way too big but workable. I use it on my manual mill too. The top of the jaw is 4.75 of the table. It appears this Glacern and the Shars are much lower. Maybe in the 2.5" range for the 4-5" vises. Could anyone verify this? I use 3 pieces of aluminum bar configured into a vise of sorts often. Keeping the work right above the table and giving me more tool room. It looks a lot like Luiz Ally's aka Tryally on YouTube but much bigger.
A lazy man does it twice.
