I have the Veritas twin vice which I thought was one of the best you could get at the time. I NEVER use it. The problem with tail vices and perhaps this one in particular is because of the weight, when they are open they tend to sag so your board is not held flat. It also takes ages to open and close it.
I think there are much better options to clamp a board then tail vices. The Festool clamping elements are amazing although they work in 20mm holes and most people drill 3/4″ holes in their benches.
In fact, this post has spurred me into action and I am going to try to sell my Veritas vice in the local classifieds shortly!
