Sherline Mill - Quick Set - Up Machine Vice

The machine vice is of course the number one tool for my hand crank mill.



 I made a set of plates that can mount onto any of three sides and hang down below the level of the cross-slide. The result is that I can hold the vise up against the side of the cross-slide and tighten the clamps in seconds.

Is this cheating? I think not; it is accurate enough for most work, possibly as accurate as these little machines can be.
