Default mill vise problems--am I doing something wrong?


wrote in message
...
I have a Sherline vertical mill (the 5000 series) and I keep having a
problem with my aluminum workpiece pulling loose from the mill vise.
I have NEVER had very good luck getting the Sherline mill vise to hold
aluminum terribly well. Is this a deficiency of their mill vise?
Would a different mill vise solve the problem? Is it possible that .
010" cuts are too much?



I use a sherline vise on my Emco Compact 5 milling adapter.
It gets lots of use and has never let me down.
