Customer Reviews for VEVOR Ball Vise, 78mm Engraving Setting Tool, 360° Rotation Engraving Block Vise, 70 PCS Attachment Jewelry Engraving Block Tools Standard Block for Gemstone Inlay and Small-Scale Engraving

Cheaper than the competition, you don't need to spend the extra hundreds on other brands. My block did not need any lube and a cleaning towel will suffice. Please note these metal items come covered in surface protection grease so just clean it off. If you are starting this hobby go for it. Also get yourself some shellac and watch plenty tutorial in youtube to better your skill. I spent 6 months looking for a cheaper option trust me I am cheap. You will love this block. Needless to say I very happy.

Has a little more play that I expected while open, but clamps down securely, the rotation is nice and smooth, so overall, it works great, especially for the price. DM

Very nice starter ball vise.

I haven't used it a ton yet, but it's a nice piece for start up.

This is a great vise, I bought it to hold jewelry in place when engraving and buffering. It has a lot of different size attachments to fit a multiple of projects. The base of the vise is heavy and sturdy for my projects. The shipping was fast and convenient. I would definitely recommend this to other jewelers.

surprisingly good ball vise I plan to use for engraving.I would rate this as a very good value comparable to the units costing $400 - $500.I've received this ball vise from the company dbm-inc covered in a light coating of oil, that only took 60 seconds or so to wipe off.The vise was well packed and I am glad it had the protective oil coating so surface rust didn't form while it was on the distributor's shelf. It arrived 5 days after ordering. I'm on the west coast, faster than what was estimated.There is a rubber support ring that the ball vise sits in, which is dry, not lubricated, so that it keeps the ball vise from rotating or moving. The top half of the ball vise rotates easily or can be locked as one chooses by a locking nut on the side of the ball vise.The top half rotation is very smooth, almost like it's rotating on ball bearings, but I don't know this for sure, it's just my description of how smooth the rotation is. I did have to unscrew the rotation lock nut a couple of extra turns to allow the top third of the vise to rotate 360 degrees freely.The hold down / pin accessory kit seems like it will work but some of the parts appear to be chrome plated and I worry that the plating might come off. This should not be a deturent for me as I see the value in the ball vise and in the worse case scenario I can make my own hold down pins and is why I rate this vise 5 stars. Again this is just my observation of the hold downs, not from long time use.UPDATE: the vise does have ball bearings in it for the top half to rotate. I took the 'locking' nut all the way out and the top half of the ball vise can then be removed. One does not need to replace the grease, but I did just because I had some waterproof grease for my bicycle at hand.

This Ball vise is way better than expected for the price. It's incredibly solid and the bearings for rotation are super smooth. Additionally is seems they have fixed the issue with mis drilled holes as all of the accessories fit without issue. Truly impressed and happy with this purchase. highly recommended for people getting into engraving and stone setting.

As mentioned in other reviews, it comes with a real coat of grease. Since it has come from India, that seems entirely appropriate.I was cautious about getting a less expensive engraving vise, but I am very happy with this one. Everything I see is better quality than you might expect for a vise that is 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of many others, but I am quite happy with it. It really IS fifteen pounds!I was not sure if I needed the accessories, but I am very happy I purchased the one WITH the accessories.If I ever have the need for a second one, I'll get one of these.WARNING added a bit later:BE SURE you unpack this next to your trash barrel. As fast as you have any given box empty, put it in your trash barrel and then spray it once you are done. I got several "hitch hikers" (BUGS) in the packaging. I hope I killed them all.

A good weight and spin to the main vise. However some of the accessories arrived rusted and there are machining burns on the tip of the ball vise where the pins would go. Good amount of accessories for the price.

Kula sama w sobie działa pięknie, tylko akcesoria są mało użyteczne. Podczas szlifowania topią się plastikowe nakładki. Szczęki nie do końca precyzyjnie łapią. Mogło by być lepiej ,ale cena wszystko osładza.
