Greetings Creekers!
What an amazing weekend we are having. Anyway, my next project, which is sort of just a finish the bench project, is next on the list. I already have a maple 30' x 84" top and the plan for the base. I want to add an end vise to this. I am torn between two, the Vertias Twin Screw and the 12” quick release end vise from Rockler. I would really like the Vertias vise, however the $$$$ is one potential issue. The second issue is do I really need the ability to skew the vise jaws? Or would I be just fine with the parallel jaws of the Rockler vise? ( links to the two vises below.)
Post your thoughts and experiences please.
Thanks and Happy Memorial Day!
Victor
