    Need a good X,Y cross axis vise

    tried my luck with a 6 inch HF one. I was not prepared for how HORRIBLE the Horrible Fright junk it was. screw on X axis is bent so the only time its easy to use is the last 2 inches of travel. the other side has so much slop that it will move 1/4 inch after you have set it.
