Great vises awsome customer support.
Only suggestion is to offer anodizing becuase it comes into contact with different materials and coolants that can eat away or stain.

They are great when used with the Universal plates.

This is my second modvice. First one is on a Bantam desktop mill. This is a shot of my Milo 1.5 (based on Linuxcnc/Mesa/Gecko control) doing first chips as a simple facing cut.

Love the vises! I've been running them with some quite heavy loads (mostly brass and aluminium though) and they haven't slipped once.
I really like that the countersunk indexing holes allow for extremely repeatable stock positioning if one of the jaws is static, so I am able to switch to different size stock without updating my origin basically ever.
My main annoyance with these vises is that while the fixture table fasteners are M6, the rest of the fasteners seem to use imperial units. Now I had to buy a set of imperial Allen keys just for these vises, and I never use them for anything else. I would have loved for the M6 version to use metric bolts throughout.

The vise works great and I own 2 of them and use them on my Taig mill. Beware if you download the drawing file (.step) it does not resemble the vice at all. It sort of looks like the vise but most of the dimensions on the 3D file are wrong. I was very disappointed with that and in the end the drawings were useless and I made my own drawings from the actual vise in order to make soft jaw drawings. Sure wish someone at SMW would have thought to do that.

These are the best!

The holding power of this is vise is way more than I was expecting. Fit and finish is superb.

The Hobby Mod Vise are perfect for machines with limited Z height like my 3040ZDQ. While other vise systems are very tall and require large T-slots or a threaded fixture plate, these work with the default T-slots and leave plenty of room in the Z Axis for stock and tools.
I have only used them with the Talon Grips but so far I've had no issues, I am amazed with the clamping force on such a small area!

Awesome device ! It adds so much versatility in machining parts. Definitely going get some more in the future. Kudos to SMW.

Haven't got them in use yet but look well made and perfect for my little router. Some better detail in the cad file on the hole spacing could be provided as i had to wait to get them before designing my fixture table . But other then that looks like a great product.

Great product and tolerances were bang on. Worth the purchase.

The best vises I ever have!!!

At this point I have not had a chance to really put them through their paces, however the build quality is awesome and the few small jobs I have used them for I am really impressed. So glad I bought two of them.

I love the vise but I had to chase all the threads where the jaws attach.
