Today I received the pen vise I ordered from Classic Nib. It is a beautiful piece of equipment. Very well made. I halve looked at pen vises ever since I started turning pens. There are several sold by various vendors. I have heard about this vise and am convinced it is the best one available. I gave it the first try on a Corian 1/2" blank which was not square. The vise held it securely and I was able to drill a perfectly straight hole. All holes are straight of course, but not always parallel with the sides of the blank. I could do that with my old system but this is easier. Besides it looks great on the drill press.
Here is the old and the new.
