crosswaters Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 4" 5" heavy duty cross slide pillar drill vice. Would prefer used British made type as I intend using it for light milling operations on my pillar bench drill. I've checked ebay but mostly rubbish china made stuff.

Stimo22 Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 I have tried this and it does not work, you will get to much vibration and problems with power. There was a post on this same subject not long back with several replys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a post on this same subject not long back with several replys That's why I'm looking for a quality heavy duty vice, use the correct press drill ,the best milling tool , and set up the feed speeds and cutter speeds and it does work. it will not turn your drill into a milling machine but for light work its just fine . But thanks for your comments Still looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stimo22 Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 Have a look back in the craft section 27th June was last post in "advice on milling" there are even some videos . I use my lathe to do any milling by taking off the tool post and fitting a 90 deg angle plate and a small vice then putting tool in chuck. It works ok on softer metals but even then struggles on steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
