Thanks

I second the screwless vise.

ksouers:
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.
