Milling Machine Vice – Fixed Base

The milling vise is more rugged than the quick vise, but is still economical and easy to use. The detachable swivel base makes angle adjustments possible. The acme adjusting screw is covered for protection. The milling vise counts on gib-like hold-downs to prevent the movable jaw from lifting. Because there must be some play to allow the jaw to move, there is no way to prevent a small amount of lift as the vise jaws are tightened.
