       A nice 6" vise you got there Bruce!
       I think earlier I advised you to not get any bigger than a 4"
       vise, but that was before you decided to buy a big knee mill
       with a table that needs a big six incher!!
       The key issues to look for on a vise like that are checking that
       the vise ways are fully parallel with your table, and that your
       movable jaw doesn't "jump" up any measurable amount when you
       clamp onto a work piece!!!

       Thanks Daniel
       The beauty of a Kurt Ang-lock vise is that they put about a 3rd
       of the pressure in a downward force. Although I am certainly
       watching for what you describe with my tappity tap brass hammer.

       I have been very fortunate to find EXACTLY what I have been
       looking for ,while saving money & getting a lot of additional
       tooling in on the deal.
