Yeah I feel weight is an issue too. I take the vise off the press table when not in use because that vise is heavy. I also have a cheapo press I bought off Ebay for $16, but the table is only 6" and would not suport the size of the vise. This vise is overkill in size for what I use it for. You could go with the cheap press and a smaller X,Y vise and should be good to go. The copper isn't as hard on the press as you might think as long as you keep the bits oiled during cutting so the a cheapo press would work just fine.
