    I have not used one, but looking at its specs. This vise is design
    to be used with the Gravermax and not really suited for traditional
    hand push methods. When your using a gravermax, you more guide than
    push a graver. 

    So if you have a gravermax it should be a pretty neat tool and would
    give you a bit more flexablity than a positioning vise. A positioning
    vise being heaven and slower to make a turn.
