Holding workpiece for milling
First up, I have not as yet done any milling, but will soon be on a vertical milling slide on my lathe.
The pieces I want to mill will be 85mm square by 52.5mm thick.
The milling will be performed across the 52.5mm face, so the face of the piece will be standing 85mm out from the face of the slide.
As yet I have no way of holding these, so before I drop $$$$s, I want to know if a precision milling machine vice (Precision tool vices QKG80_Machine Tool Access._M&G Productions) would be suitable, or is there a better option?
I will be making 6 of these, so need to have something that works, but doesn't cost me a kidney, and will be useful in the future for other projects. (Versatile)
Cheers
