Here's a little video I made showing how to indicate a milling vise in just one pass.

  Seriously cool Tom.  Thanks for the vid. I'll be giving that a BIG try once I get the mill set up.-Ron

Such a simple concept. Definitely going to try that out.
Well done.  Ed

So if you don't have a swivel base (or don't have it installed) will this technique still work? Could you have the vice swivel about one of the lock down bolts? It looks so easy on the video that if I had to I could just about talk myself into buying the swivel base for my vise.
Great "how to" thanks. Dan

I don't know how well it will work without a swivel base, I've always had them on my vises. Why don't you try it out and let us know? It sounds like it might work leaving one bolt loose. Tom |
