Hi guys,
I just have a question, mainly for those who do setting under the microscope. I've started doing some practice setting under the scope and I currently use the regular size GRS ball vise. I feel this is massive over kill as cannot tilt it really (piece goes out of view) and just not as easy to operate as a stick of shellac up against the peg lol. So I was wondering who uses the GRS micro ball for setting and does it have a low profile for microscope work? Or has anyone tried out the new Ringenie positioning vise?
Looking to increase my efficiency under the scope in general for engraving, but definitely hitting a snag with setting....as I find it hard to quickly check level of stones without having to chase the work.
Apart from those two vises I was also looking at the low profile vise that Steve Lindsay sells (it doesn't have bearings, its for use on a turntable). Does anyone have any experience with this one?
Sorry, massively long winded message. Thanks guys
