It only saves 10 minutes, but just think, 6x off and on and and you have an hour. whats your
shop rate? At 85.00 / hour it just cost you 14.16 to change the vice. I know that a real machinist
would never use air, but I use it to clean the bottom of the vice, It must take about 10 seconds
to clean it....Job done.
