Customer Reviews for VEVOR Ball Vise, 5" Engraving Setting Tool, 360° Rotation Engraving Block Vise, 35 PCS Attachment Jewelry Engraving Block Tools Standard Block for Gemstone Inlay and Small-Scale Engraving

This is the larger Ball Vise, its heavy and appears to have all the features you would require, as a hobby jeweller I am happy with the purchase, folks with smaller hands might consider the 3" Ball Vise, it looks very well made, and should last longer than I will.

The parts are fitting little loose and jaw's to,but with with a little work and a patent from me it work nice...! also the coating from the ballvise starting off on the first week of use, so i took it off and use it with the naturale color of iron and periodically put-on protection from antitrust WD 40 and that's it...!

I gave this 4 stars. If I had paid $650 for it, I'd give it one star. For the price, I can put up with the wonkiness of the attachments. I'd be interested to find out if the GRS attachments would fit this (The GRS attachments cost $150 alone, but are probably well machined). As other reviewers mentioned, some of the pins are a little wobbly and don't fit in the holes snugly. But hell, for $150, I'm glad I bought it. This is one of those "You get what you paid for" deals.

It’s good only problem is I think I was sent a used one. It not used then damaged in production. Either way shouldnt have been shipped

There was a single spot upon spinning it that it would almost rub and create some resistance. I could not figure out how to take apart but when I was finicking around with a screwdriver and hammer, I spread it apart just enough to where it cleared that spot. So now it freely spins all the way around. It has an allen screw to tighten if you want more pressure on the spin. Being new to engraving, I am ready to spend $100's to get going in the hobby, but not $100's extra. This was absolutely worth it! Would buy again!

Some of the attachments are not quite as snug fitting as they could be but given the value for money it's a small niggle. Easy to use, makes close work so much easier. Definitely give it a go.

Good thing to start woth

Overall fine, specially the delivery that was very fast. I personally didn't like it cause it arrived full of oil and the pins kept jumping out when using it. i used it for stone setting, not engraving really. You have to be sure before you purchase it cause no return and refund are accepted if the ball vice doesn't meet your needs. I suggest to watch tons of videos before you do it. Next time i would buy it on Amazon cause they do allow returns and i appreciate that.

This is a good deal for the money, but it does need some work before it is ready to use. As others have said the three holes in the vise jaws vary in size, location, and depth. The attatchments that come with it are largely useless due to the poor fit caused by these holes. I fixed mine by drilling out these holes using a sharp 5/16" end mill in a milling machine. The jaws are not easy to drill, and might have a casehardening treatment. They did cut with a HSS mill, but it took a bit of effort. While I was doing this I also cleaned up the top and face of the jaws. A few hours work left a useful vise. The attatchments can not be used without modification now of course, but it is easy to make new pins and accessories if you have some basic machining capability. In short, this is a good value if you have some machining capabilities, or know someone who can help you out. If not, I would look elsewhere.
