Brian i think just the new one low profile turntable vise have the size of the pins different and sll the way i sire that if you make a call to Steve he can modify it with the size you need want.
I have the Palm control vise and i can use with it all the GRS pins fixtures that come with my GRS standard block without problem.
Jura's fixtures only works with the GRS Microblock because you have to replace his originals jaws to can use them.

The Goliath that I have does not accept the larger diameter standard lower jaw pins - and only about 25% of my old standard pin based upper jaw fixtures.

The hole size in the upper pin plate/jaw is correct, but the spacing is a wee bit off on the other 75%. Some are Victor, LeTourneau and GRS.


I know that nothing I have collected, had made, or made myself over the years will fit the turntable vise for sure... I tried 'em all yesterday.

Don't own the PC vise, so I can't say anything about it.

Ray LeTourneau had made me one the same size a coupla years before the PC vise came out. Didn't need another the same size...

Does anyone have any videos or photos of them using a GRS Positioning vise? Any Lindsay vises? I have been lucky enough to use a standard and magnablock as well as GRS' microblock, so if you can compare anything to that. GRS prices seem to be pretty reasonable in comparison to everyone else as far as value for money.

Thanks everyone for your comments. Are there any other threads on here with similar questions?

Here's a GRS video which explains the turntable, and I'm using the low profile vise .
