Subject: Re: [VFB] Vises The Vosseler is a great example of the fact that a vise is highly personal. Some like it; I did not care for at all. Two pair of jaws... why? No weight in the base, but a suction cup instead, which just does not work on many surfaces, and results in an extremely wobbly vise
