Dropped my 440v onto my Seig X3 Mill using the included keys in the keyway on the bottom of the vise. With no adjustments I got better parallelism than the resolution on my servos allows me to measure. It's probably somewhere around 0.0002".
@Bolstermanic I'd bet it comes from the same factory. However, I think Glacern does in-house finishing. The only reason I didn't go Glacern is that the Shars was $50.00 less delivered. That said, the inspection sheet on mine showed that it beat all of it's tolerances, and by a wide margin. I'm very happy with this vise and really don't see a need to ever upgrade it.
Good accuracy! Interesting Shars calls theirs the 440V, my Glacern (mounted on a Sieg X3, like yours) is called a GSV-440. Want to bet it's the same vise?
