This was the first actual job on this mill was actually for this mill.

The vise was a horrible import that was rendered into a useable one with a bunch of mods.
The jaws were surface ground, the moveable jaw was modified to to tighten the tolerances, a shoe was machined for the moveable jaw and a bronze thrust button was machined for the closing screw.
I added three hold down bolt homes to the front of it, machined registers on both ends of it and milled the hold down slot on the main casting to fix it to the table with a clamp below the top surfaces of the vise.
