Seriously, I used the term beauty talking about a vise! When I took it out of the box, I couldn_ believe how well made it was! Every face is perfectly true and there is absolutely no play whatsoever in the moving jaw put a feeler gauge in one side and close it up, the other side is exactly the same gap, with no lateral movement. The only downside is that there are no clamping slots on the side, but I_l probably end up milling a slot in either side. For the price, you won_ beat this one!
