Quality swivel bench vise?

This one isn’t a typical swivel vise.... picked one up at busybee on sale about 5-6 years ago for around $75 and for light/medium work it’s been good.

I like the nod feature of this vise. How well does it hold up when you reef on it? Does it slip or does it out reef you?

I couldn’t get a good angle on the picture... everything is pushed to the side and my lathe has Center stage for a dro install.
The vise looks tilted in the picture but it’s not. Mounted on a 1.5” stud and held with a nut on either side. I cut the nuts down to get the spacing I wanted
