Hey man, are you still making videos??? I truly hope you are. I really hope you keep going. Finding your Channel has been such an opportunity for me as a semi young machinist. Thanks for what you do!
The unfortunate thing about not only the talon grip, but many other specialty vise jaws, is that they are not available in “Snap Jaws” style of attachment using a tee slot over short head cap screw arrangement for quick change. In a die shop or production shop environment with today’s short run requirements, time is money and idle changeover time is costly. Fiddling around with traditional shcs, running them out and then back in is time wasted even with an air ratchet and as a result I rarely use my talon grip jaws. A word of caution regarding the talon grip. I wish you would have mentioned that they do indent the surface approximately.060 up into what they are holding so that area needs to be either waste stock and milled off after inversion as you indicated, or not be a factor in the surface finish or function of the part.
