    New vice for Sieg SX2

    Hi I need a new vice for my Sieg SX2 mini mill, my current vice lifts up one of the jaws when i clamp up things at the top of the jaws.
    Has anbody got any recommendations? How big and heavy can i go?
    I've been looking at these tool makers vices..

    And this vertex 4 inch


    Thanks
    Sieg SX2, 500 watt brushless motor, Belt Driven. 3 MT

    I've got both style vices on my X2.
    I tend to use the Vertex style one more than the other but I've never used the rotary part of the vice.
    I find the toolmakers vice quicker to set up and get square.
    Regards
    Geoff
