Dowel Vice Onto Mill

[BobWarfield]

Another approach is to use softjaws in the vise. Bolt down the vise and mill the softjaws. They'll be true to the axis after milling.

I don't know that this is tremendously faster than indicating in. I use it as a final tune up after I get the vise close with a machinist's square.

I'm a big fan of aluminum softjaws in the vise.

Best,
