Review on Panavise 8103 PanaVise Standard Head by Joe Garczynski

To complement my other final assembly vise. (Why does Revain give me a misspelling for vise but not vise?) Funny! Update: This isn't your dad's PanaVise. The holes for the slides were roughly machined so the last three or four turns to close the vise was very difficult. I used a micrometer for the diameter and spacing between the sliders and they were the same. So the problem must have been the sliding holes. After about two hours of sanding the inside of the holes, cleaning and trying again, I finally had a smooth finish. Also, I've found that the coating on today's PanaVise is sprayed rather than baked like older units and can be removed with alcohol. I noticed this when cleaning after the filing process.
