I have a bunch of Emmert's, turtles and newer. None of the later clones
have the mass of the Emmert, but some have other good attributes. It takes
a substantial bench to hold a large Emmert.

In selecting a front vice for my work bench, I am intrigued by the pattern
maker's vice such as the Tucker vice sold by Lee Valley at
http://tinyurl.com/4hvrd. My local dealer has Taiwanese clone of this
style
that sells for $190. It appears to be quite well made and works smoothly.

I'd appreciate any comments from someone who owns or has used a similar
vice.
