In the market for a 3" sine vise for my home shop, I tend to shy away from
the "asian" varieties but at about 1/2 the price I'm tempted...

When they quote square and parallel to 0.0002" can they be trusted?

Any other general comments?


The problem is Chinese quality can be all over the board. Now if you can measure (qualify
it ) and the supplier is good about taking back what doesn't meet their advertised specs
you might be able to inspect your way to a good one.


Are you using this for grinding applications or milling?

What kind of tolerances are you working to?
