55 forum posts 2 photos | Hi I am hoping to purchase a hex Stevensons ER25 collet block from ArcEuroTrade, but need to make sure my vice is big enough to hold it. The inside walls of my vice are 30mm high. Can anyone advise how much of a gap there is at the bottom of the block when two side faces are horizontal? I did emeil Arc, but no reply so far. Many thanks Andrew |

I do intend to have a corner resting on the botton of the vice, and your measurements have reasured me that my vice will be fine. I can't thank you enough. You are a star! Cheers Andrew |
