I'm a retired die sinker and when it came time to purchase a mill vise for my old Enco mill/drill, I bought this vise from LittleMachineShop in Pasadena, CA https://littlemachineshop.com/products/product_view.php?ProductID=1879&category=1963256912 4 inch, non-swivel.

I never have any issues contacting Mike IF you phone after 6pm EST.

Steven,
I'm not sure if my Private Messages are going through. Please email at grmstd@gmail.com. I would like to purchase this book if it is still available.

Thank you.
