Hello All;
I received these two rectangular pieces with my 5" milling vice, there was also two small screws that came with it.
I have looked at the vice trying to find where they might fit but have not found any small bolt holes.
I at first thought they where stop blocks but can not find anything indicating that.
Do you have any suggestions??

Sorry about the image as I cannot seem to get it to accept it????

Have you looked on the underside of the vise?

Quick alignment keys. The attach to the underside of the vise and help align it in the T-slots.
 
Hello All;
Hummm under the vice, that is the only place I did not look as the vice has been mounted for over a month and one half.
Thank you all for the information, when I remove the vice I will set them up.

Best Regards

 
You should measure them before you mount them. I had to mill some recesses like a "T" nut on mine because they were wider than my slots. ;)
 
My vice came with those. I would not trust the accuracy of these to square the vice. When I use mine its .005 out of square. (I suppose this can be fixed by milling one down) but I would check anyway.
