The Kurt 675 and 688 have machined side rails, not the entire side. This allows the vise to be aligned more easily on an angle plate. This is just a minor difference. The Kurt vises also have an o ring feature under the movable jaw that causes the jaw to move down when tightening keeping parallels tight under the work piece. ___ > > Emc-users mailing list > > Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net > > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users > > -- > Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning > Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing > also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. > http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ > ___ > Emc-users mailing list > Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users -- Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users

In that case you "need" the swivel...

The vises with machined sides are a different model vise designed to be mounted on it's side if needed. http://www.glacern.com/gpv_615 John On 2/18/2012 9:45 AM, John figie wrote: > One difference that I see between the Glacern and the Kurt is that the Kurt > has machined side rails.

I had been considering a Kurt D688, which is nearly identical in every aspect, but more money: http://www.kurtworkholding.com/manual-vise-opening-p-1205-l-en.html If I had a little more money, I would get this one: http://www.glacern.com/gpv_615 Also, Parlec seems to be just as proud of their vises, as Kurt is, and their prices reflect that: http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/PARLEC-Milling-Vise-6GJP4 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Parlec-PWS-6900-Milling-Machine-Vise-6-X-9-Opening-Single-Station-BRAND-NEW-/270902649236 -- -Mark Ne M'oubliez ---Family Motto Hope for the best, plan for the worst ---Personal Motto -- Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users

I know to steer clear of their cheaper versions, because of bad castings, and poor fit and finish. I want something I can use pretty much right out of the box, with very little additional machining. BTW, the Shars vise, and the GMT vise are almost identical... There is only 3 differences I can find: 1) The stickout of the leadscrew, the Shars is 18.94" and the GMT is 19.25". 2) The Shars weighs 82 pounds, vs 81 pounds for the GMT. 3) The scallop running down the length of the Shars. -- -Mark Ne M'oubliez ---Family Motto Hope for the best, plan for the worst ---Personal Motto -- Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users

One difference that I see between the Glacern and the Kurt is that the Kurt has machined side rails. Also check Parlec.
