(no, not the pachinkonudenoodleparlour nakedopiumlash kind)
Looking for vises for two milling machines, an X3 and a smaller BCA. Any
tips?
For instance, what size - what kind, would a good drilling vice do or do I need a machine vice - is swivel/tilt useful and does it affect accuracy -
Looking at http://www.chronos.ltd.uk/cgi-local/sh000001.pl?REFPAGE=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2echronos%2eltd%2euk%2fcgi%2dlocal%2fss000001%2epl%3fpage%3dsearch%26SS%3dparting%26search%2ex%3d0%26search%2ey%3d0%26search%3dACTION%26PR%3d%2d1%26TB%3dA&WD=vice&PN=New___Precision_Vices_from_Soba%2ehtml%23a110070100#a110070100
would the 100 mm Heavy Duty Drilling Vice be suitable for an X3? Or would the Soba 100 mm Low Profile Machine Vice be better, and is it worth the difference?
Any tips welcomed, even newbie ones, I haven't done a lot of milling.
