Hello everybody,
I need your opinion on Engraving vises/blocks.
As I currently don't have one, I am looking to get myself a good one that will suit me for a while. Before the need arises to buy an extra one to hold things the first one cant.
What I want to do is engrave small objects/jewellery. So I don't need a big one. And I am not planning on doing knives or guns in the foreseeable future.
Right now I have my eye on a micro/small ball-vise that has a centring option. Like the one pictured here only smaller. http://www.grstools.com/images/products/003-541_2-1Wa.jpg
Are they a good choice or is it better to buy a "normal" one and a turntable/platform? If so why?
Also I am in Europe so shipping from the USA is quite costly for heavy items. There for I would prefer to buy it here.
Thank you
