I bought the jorgensen vise over the groz because I liked the maple handle and the solid steel dog. I also liked the quick release on the jorg over the groz because it looked like it would hold up longer. After installing the jorg I noticed that it racked significantly and that the guide bars were loose. Is this normal of this style vise or should I take it back and get the groz or some other brand. I'm planning on making the "21st century bench" with the veritas twin screw but for now I will be mounting the QR vise to an old bench. Here are the links to the vises in question. Thanks
