ive got this vice and im using a similar sized machine also the fixed jaw on each side has a threaded hole very handy http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/50MM-2-ToolMaker-Vice-Harden-Milling-Grinding-US_W0QQitemZ160369693793QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item2556c75461 thanks colin |

I second the screwless vise. |

Make it three votes. I have one very similar to the one Colin posted. It fits nicely on my X2 and I can drop it in the vise from my knee mill if I need it there, already squared up. As noted, the fixed jaw has an M8x1.5 hole on each side, very handy for mounting a stop. |

I've got one of these screwless vices and it works OK for me. You'll need to make some clamps for it, mine didn't come with any. I've also got a 4" vice, similar to this one Small vice. Without the swivel part, it just fits the X2. |
