Well, I've spent a couple of hours checking out the new (to me) 626 Mill and it seems pretty well put together, the tee slots have no discernible run out, table seems pretty level etc, so I've spent a while squaring up mi' little vice ................... and a bit longer ................. then a bit longer still ................

After about half an hour of not being able to get it within about 2 - 3 thou I decided I either needed to go for a lie down ....

....... or something was amiss

Yup .................... the "fixed" jaw of the vice has about 0.003" of play in it

So ........................ in the UK, any recommendations for a "Good Quality" Milling vice, I really don't want one that swivels as that adds more dimensional inaccuracy into the equation and one that exerts downward pressure as it tightens up would be nice ............. about 4" (100mm) should be OK
The only one I've found to press is
This One from Chronos, so .................... It might be just as quick to collect it at the Midlands Engineering exhibition as to order via Mail Order

Cheers Lads
