I though about that, but decided to leave the faces flat. I have some small "V" blocks that I can use if I need to. McMaster-Carr have some "V" blocks only 1" on the side

yes, mini V blocks are even better, in that you can also use them at an angle. Jaw Vees are always 0 or 90 deg to the quill. (Unless you tilt the whole vise - not a good idea...)

Did you get the dovetail cutter idea from the CNCCookbook page? I just read that bit last week and thought it was a pretty good idea. http://www.cnccookbook.com/MTMillDovetail.htm

All it needs is a polishing and gun-blueing and call er done!

Hi Paul,

The website you mentioned did give me the idea, but I had a problem with the radius. If you look at the diagrams, you'll see that the trailing edge of the cutter actually sticks out farther than the cutting edge. To overcome this problem, you have to cut the backside of the mount shallower then is shown. The idea being to get the cutting edge farther out than the trailing edge. I realized this was a problem after I made my first one. With proper relief, it works great!
