  • yeah youll probably be alright with those, a half round one can be nice but depends, maybe buy if you find you need it.

    Ah ok yeah if not ebay its the kinda thing you see at carboot sales and stuff. For making it removable you could bolt the vice to a piece of wood and then clamp that to a table and unclamp when needed. I think there arent many nice vices that are also removable.

  • Yeah, I thought about doing that but then it becomes this gigantic thing, I'd also have to keep a wood clamp somewhere, etc. Honestly I'll think I'll splurge and grab the York, it looks exactly the same as a RS 545-525 vice we have at work which I've tried and is exactly what I need.

    @withered_preacher : I used to own a dremel (Proxxon IBS/E to be precise) and absolutely hated it. Very hard to do any precise work, it was terrible for cutting through struts as the body of the tool very quickly gets in the way, etc. I think people have a tendency to see the dremel as the ultimate versatile tool, while I think it should just be used for what it was designed for : a very niche, handheld milling tool to work on weird shapes, i.e. sculpting, model making, etc.
