Angelos VISE is interesting. We say if these guns could talk, the stories they could tell. Just think how much beautiful engraving that VISE has seen and help create. It is massive, about five times the size of the little one I have. Mine has only engraved a couple screws since I got it. Mine would most likely scream if it could talk "no go straight your klutz, or gently, gently, that is ok, it will buff out". Obviously mine has a judgemental sense of humor.

Angelo Bee's vise looks to be home built, and is by far the largest engraving vise I've ever seen. The actual clamping part appears to be an average size bench vise. Hard to believe that he isn't using some sort of auxiliary vise to hold smaller parts or screws. If the ball is a solid steel sphere, it has to weigh well over 100 lbs. I'm guessing the setscrews suspending it in the massive base are probably nylon or brass tipped Vlier pins.
It shouldn't move while cutting steel with a graver. The thing to worry about would be having the bench it is sitting on collapse. You could almost use that thing to engrave engine blocks.
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

If you look at pictures of the fn engravers shop you will see this type of ball, they also used a vise to hold work.

Few people have a decent vise. Fewer still go to the trouble of mounting it correctly. This is a Wilton 500 machinist’s vise, mounted to 1/4” wall, 4140 seamless, drawn over mandril, hydraulic tubing, flanges welded on either end and filled with reclaimed lead shot and motor oil, to create a “dead blow” vise mount. Just guessing the entire assembly is between 500-750lbs. Never engraved a thing in it. But, I suppose I could. Knocked a pressed ball joint or two out on it, however. I imagine Angelo could do that too, but, I hope he has a shop vise to go along with his studio vise for that work. Without at least one, good, well mounted vise in your shop, you have nothing. Two, are better. Best, Ted

I don't know Mr. Bee personally but I suspect he is able to decide his own needs. Mike
