    Thanks Paul, this vise has been in place on my mini-mill since I modified it. I have not used my machinist screwless vise at all on this mill.
    It holds within about .0015" without a final tightening of the "hold downs". I just keep them snug. I can reduce the lift by cinching them down to less than .001.
    Not bad for a $60.00 vise that gives me more head room than the Kurt style. Just what we need for the mini mill.

    Cheers, JR
