Bob, I have a Terra, which with some homemade modifications can be a decent vise. It is good enough for most of what I do. But it is not in the same ball park with the Apex or Peak. The Vogel brothers build the Apex in Indiana, having seen the Apex for the same money as the Peak I would order one of their Atlas from their shop. They provide a clamp and pedestal mount for the prices. It seems they may need a little help with their website but their vises are first rate.
