Looking for a small vice for file work

Grind the jaws smooth on a pair of Vise-grips and then put in your existing vise ?

I like the jeweler's ball vise because it allows unlimited orientation of the workpiece. The vices are made in several sizes and have special attachments that accomodate oddly shaped items.

Guys-they're VISES (unless you're English.) Vices are more fun.

Perhaps a hand vice from USAKnifemakersSupply.com Frank

A jewelers supply, like Rio Grande should have anything you want.
They carry vises, but not vices.

If McMaster Carr doesn't have it, you don't need it! Nice little vise.

Use a large set of parallels and lock them into a panavise.

I use this type of vise with some homemade nylon jaws. You can move it just about every way you want and since it has some weight to it, if you need to move it around more often, you don't always have to lock it down.
