From the moment it was unpacked it was pretty clear that the quality in shape, plating, movement etc is poor. There's weight, there's just no pride in the product being made. I expected a lot more from HHIP even though it's not a super high-flyer. The photos show where the casting has been repaired, turned and ground to make it acceptable. You can make up your own mind after seeing what I received. Spend your money elsewhere, the 6" HFS vise I fitted to my Enco grinder was very good.
