The UPS dude showed up yesterday.

I had a Taiwanese 4" Kurt clone and tried to find a mate to it, but came up empty. A friend needed modifications to his lathe tailstock so he could peck drill when making pens. I mentioned I wanted a mate to my vise but was having difficulty finding one about the same time as he decided to buy a mill. So we struck a deal on my vise and he ordered two 4" ones from Shars while he was submitting a fair sized order. He also received a 10% discount as it was his first Shars order.
I already had the one swivel base sprayed down with LPS 3 and bagged up for storage. After I took the pic I did the same with the vise on the left. It would have been nice to find a couple of used Kurt 4" vises, but these should do just fine as I'm not making aerospace or nuclear power plant parts.
