The Glacern stuff looks to be very nice and I toyed with the idea of buying one of their milling vises. The shipping was the killer. Their customer service is second to none based upon my experience.
I have there 5" vise and keyless chuck. So far all of the Glacern tools have been excellant and fit and finish beautiful. I am lucky as the shipping is only from southern CA to Oregon so not too expensive.
When using the R8 collets with a 1/2" endmill the endmill was slipping and moving into the work piece. The ER collet locks the end mill very solid and I like the ease of tool changes.
