Neither busy bee in calgary or kms in red deer has a 6 inch in stock, I will be in red deer wed am so will look at the 5 inch import they have at kms, it's reasonably priced with a swivel base so will check it out well, another reason that I want a larger vise is to be able to clamp one of my 3 inch vises or even the small 1 inch screwless vises. Spent some time in the shop today and finally got the powerfeed installed on the mill (boy is this going to be better than all that cranking) and made many chips to try it out. Feel qyite accomplished as all was completed withouut the instructions which seem to have gotten lost, now I just have to figure out where to run all the wires. tom
