Before I ask my question, to all those people who would tell me to get the lathe drilling stuff, I am going to at some point. So please do not post "just get the stuff to drill on the lathe." That has nothing to do with my question. :tongue: Thanks!
I was wondering if anyone has been using the self centering pen vises for the drill presses out there? I ask because I am thinking about getting one of these as well. I am curious to see what people thinks works really good for either round or squared stock. There is a PSI one I am looking at and the other is the higher end one at WC. The lower end model at WC appears to have flexing problems with the rods.

Thank you in advance for the input. I am leaning more towards the PSI version for 1 because it is cheaper and 2 after 170+ reviews it is averaging 5 stars. My only concern is mounting on the dp table. Let me know what you have found good and bad or maybe suggest one I haven't thought of. My dad made me a VERY nice pen press out of oak, so the WoodWerks one that they have for $60 right now I am not huge on personally that is both a vise and press. Thanks everyone!
