2 piece milling vice

[Stevohdee]

Nice work and very useful, I made a small version for my lathe cross slide only to find I could not use it as it locked the slide due to distortion.
Unlike a stand alone clamp it transfers the clamp force to the bed, fine on a robust machine.
Oh well at least the long T nuts are still to be used. Great find on the gas struts.

Thanks olderdan, we all get failures sometimes and end up with stuff we made that somewhere down the track can use for something else. I have a box in my shed called the "what was it thinking?" box.
Cheers
