Hi All,
Well it looks like i am picking up the new Sieg X2 mini mill next weekend! :big:
It does not come with a vice, so i have been doing a bit of research.
I have not managed to find a size recommendation anywhere... ???
What would be the correct size of vice to get for this size mill?
Any suggestions on make?
I had a small Sherline mill a few years ago and it had a neat small vice that had a groove milled into the top of the jaws.
Ended up re-milling it to get it straight and perpendicular, but it was great for holding smaller bits in.
I have seen a few 6" vices that weigh upwards of 100 pounds!
I am sure i do not need something that big and heavy? ???
Any help greatly appreciated!
Andrew
