    Hi Walter,

    I just paid $420USD on Ebay (4 units) had to do some fancy work to get them home (Australia) but it is obviously worth it.
    Q Is anybody machining there own jaws for this model? If so are you willing to share any info.

    chick is great and well worth the cost !
    at the last company i worked at we made a load of spare jaws but we pushed them thru so fast and its been so long its all a blur , i may be wrong but i think you can get a dxf of the jaws from chick

    This is a nice set up for a HAAS VMC. Chick's are very nice vises and worth every penny. You may have to perform regular maintenance and cleanings though. Their repeatability is great as long as you take care of them.

    The price new here in the states is pretty high.

    Does anybody know of a third party that manufactures soft jaws for these vises?

    Cheers,
