    PS: Mill clamps.
    Milling clamps depend on leverage to work effectively. Two things assure this.
    1] toe of clamp should bear on the part at lowest possible angle, not flat. Setup of step blocks is easy, 1 tooth higher than part, especially when block[s] right next to part. I do it first without studs, clamps or anything in the way.
    2] Strongest clamp force at lowest torque with stud closest to clamp toe.
    Sincerely,
