I am gathering up accesories in anticipation of my new milling machine which is to be delivered at the end of this month. I have ran into a snag. I thought that since eventually I would need to buy a rotary table/indexing head, I would purchase it now, and just get a very plain milling vice and mount it to the top of my rotary table. This would allow me to buy a relatively inexpensive vice with a fixed (non rotating base). --------I would simply mount it to the top of the rotary table and this would in effect give me a milling vice with a rotating base. Now I am wondering if this was a mistake. The fixed base vice that I purchased turns out to be a friggin' drill press vice!!!! Now I am seeing that most of the better milling vices that are sold come with a rotary base. It seems to me that it would be rather self defeating to mount a vice with a swivel base onto a rotary table!! So---What do I do??? I am straining my budget here, so I don't want to buy 2 vices, one with a rotary base to use by itself and one with a fixed base to mount on my rotary table. The drill press vice can be returned ---thats not really an issue. (I only paid $46.00 for it anyways). Was my initial idea of using a fixed base vice on top of my rotary table a bad idea, or is that acceptable? Can I buy a reasonable quality fixed base drill press vice for less than $150.00??? Busy Bee Tools (where I have been buying all my stuff has a 2 3/4" low profile milling vice for about $65.00 but it seems awfully small. http://busybeetools.ca/cgi-bin/picture10?&NETID=0808140615081927571&NTITEM=B2715 I really need a senior member with good experience to chime in here and help me out, please.---Brian
