I don't know how I have missed this. I knew there were some Chinese copies out there, but this looks pretty well-made. Has anyone tried it? Is this new, or am I just out of touch? (I mean this particular offering by HWW; I know the design itself is not new.)

I may just have to get one. I don't really want to have to do all this routing to my bench. Since it may be a while before my dream Roubo build comes to fruition, addign this to my existing bench would be sweet, and probably I would add it to the back or side of the Roubo when I do get to that build. I like these for carving and making wierd-shaped stuff. $300 is a sweet price for such a hefty vise. Seriously thinking about getting this.
