Paul,
I hadn't seen this thread until now. I got my vise in June 04. ( [^] gloat to virgil, he'll know.....) Since then I have done nothing withit but drill blanks (<1/2" to 3+" for peppergrinders) and occasionally blow off all the drilling chips. I will now dutifully oil as you suggested.
Mine is one with the apparently older style "double handle" which I really like since you can tighten it with kindof a thumb and forefinger twist motion.

Paul, I have a suggestion regarding your vise. As you know, I have had mine only a couple of months. Much to the dismay of others, you sent mine the day after I ordered it. But then again, I paid for the rehearsal dinner.
Here is the one suggestion that I have for you. Your label with your logo. Paul! After all that work maching the vise ... you put on a cheesy paper adhesive label??? Why not engrave it somehow with your name? It would be such a nice touch. Just a thought.

I agree with label. I used to put my name on them with the cnc at work, and will return to that very soon. It just takes a little time. If I can use the BIG machine, it is easier. The one I usually use is just a 2 axis so I have to work the spindle up and down in between letters.

Maybe I missed it, but I haven't been able to find out how much these are selling for. Could someone enlighten me, please?

OK, this is an announcement for all. Due to materials going up 15% (even just since last batch), there will be a slight price increase of $5 to $70 plus shipping and handling, which I am changing slightly. If you pay by money order, the total will be $85.00. If by Paypal, add 3.5% ($2.98).
I hate to do this, but...

Beamer, if you have to ask, you don't want it bad enough. [

Jason,
The vise is expensive but if you drill enough, it pays for itself in the long run due to reduced blowout and waste. This is especially true when you use exotic/expensive materials.
The accuracy will help you use smaller blanks than usual. Of course you can drill on the lathe and get even better accuracy but drilling on DP is so much more convenient.
As with anything, there is a rate of return...whether you will meet the break even point in one year or 10 years varies depending on your usage.
