    Smith 1220

    I have a smith 1220 and have been looking for a nice vice that will actually fit it, I do not like the one they sell at smithy with the Allen set.

    msc has the best that i have found but wondered if anybody else had anthing out there I am missing.

    thanks in advance-Doug

    Glacern is selling a 6" vise that reportedly compares well to the Kurt vises, but at a lower proce. On sale till the end of the year, I think.

    If you need a 5" vise, Conquest sells the Magnum model. It's also similar to a Kurt. I have one of those and it is well made. $500 or so, though.

    Thanks for posting our link, Mike. It is much appreciated.

    Also wanted to note that in addition to our 4" GSV-440 vise which debuted not to long ago, we will also have a 5" GSV-550 available in late January.
