Greetings, all.
I recently bought an Atlas 7B shaper - not in bad shape, and now in the midst of some reconditioning. Unfortunately, the original vise was long gone. The seller included a rough shop-built vise, which is better than nothing but not much.
I'd like to buy a new US-made vise for the machine, but it's tough to tell what would suit the purpose. Palmgren sells a 4.5" swivel vise, model 425B, that looks decent. Wilton has a 5" model 12365, although I'm not sure where it's made.
Does anyone have experience with these vises? Or are there any better ones out there?
Thanks for any thoughts or opinions.
