Opinions on this engraving vise

Brian Jordan:
As the title says. Looking for thoughts and opinions on this vise for engraving gun parts. I plan to attach the parts to wood with bondo or the hot glue method, and clamp the wood in the vise.

I don’t know about that particular one, but I have an extra GRS one with all the clamp accessories I can sell you for $250.

You did'nt mention what type of engraving you do.If it's hammer and chisel these vices are going to be too light.You will need something heavier.I use a Lindsay Goliath but the Lindsay Titan would be even better.Be warned they are not cheap.

Brian Jordan:
Mike I sent you a message.

Mitch I plan on hammer and chisel, as that's all I have.

You are correct, the Lindsey equipment is very expensive but also high quality. As much as I would love to buy a classic air graver, and a quality Lindsey vise I just can't justify it right now.

Hi,
It is too light as Mitch wrote.  Also the maximum jaw opening is pretty small for large gun work.  You would hav to anchor it down for any hammer and chisel work.
