For any amount of work with metal - cutting, filing, grinding, shaping, soldering, and the like, you really need a good quality metal vise. Features to look for include replaceable jaws that match up perfectly, minimal side-to-side play when opening the vise, smoothly operating guide bar, deep throat capacity, and, optionally, a swivel base that has a fluid motion but locks the head firmly in place.  Yost Vises has recently introduced a new Apprenticeship Series'of economically priced mechanics-style vises. There are five models to choose from, with jaw openings from 4-1/2 to 8 inch. I looked at the model 455, which has a 5-1/5 inch jaw capacity.
