I am new to hand engraving and have recently purchased the En-Set system. I am currently using just a ring clamp with a GRS shellac pad to hold my work. I am thinking about investing in a ball vise but I can't seem to find one cheap enough. Is this a "must have" investment? Would a jewelers benchmate system suffice? or even a "peg clamp hand tool"?

I am a jeweler by trade and am considering purchasing the benchmate again. What are the advantages and disadvantages to each with hand engraving?
I would greatly appreciate all opinions!
Thanks,
Jeff
