Edge Milling Vise

[mklotz]

I frequently tilt my bench-mounted, articulated Panavise down so that the vise jaws are horizontal and the adjusting screw is vertical as is the case with your edge vise. There are certain jobs that are made easier in that configuration.

You may want to give a thought to making your edge vise a companion to your toolmaker's bench vise so you can utilize its utility at the bench. Attaching the edge vise to a plate that could be clamped to the bench would be all it takes.

I love the design and wish I had one. I've held my small toolmaker's vise vertically in the mill vise to achieve the same jaw orientation but that's problematic since the height of the toolmaker's vise can interfere with the mill chuck, etc.. Your low profile device is much better.

Keep up the great work. I'm always delighted when I see a new build from you.
