Vertex mini vice?

(1/2) > >>

Arbalist:
I'd like to get a Vertex Mini Toolmakers Vice as shown at the top of this page.

Also here:

http://www.vertex-tw.com.tw/products/products_list.php?cid=134#pro   

Note the cut outs on the top of the jaws. I think this may be a useful feature but all the Vertex ones I've seen being sold by the usual suspects, Chronos, RDG etc show a vice without the cut outs! I think Arceurotrade sell one with cut outs but would prefer a Vertex if I can get one.

Anyone seen the one in the picture for sale anywhere?

I have three of these vices, the smallest one (1"shown in the second link) has the cut out and two large ones (2")don't. I bought mine from CTC tooling.

The only think that I don't like about these vises is the nut is not very well thought out, it is difficult to use in standard form, but it can be modified? I like having two of the 2" ones very useful for long or odd shaped things!

Regards, Matthew

Arbalist:
Yes, I'm not a great lover of the screwless vice having bought the 2 inch version but I think the small one with the cut outs may be useful.

Just for information...the one which ARC sells is made in the same factory as the VERTEX one.

Ketan at ARC.

Arbalist:
Thanks for that Ketan, is that the type 1, type 2, or both?
