You can add a vise stop to the end of your vise on the fixed jaw by drilling
and tapping a hole for a flat plate retained by a bolt. This sticks up above
the vise jaws and provides a physical stop for the thrust pressure of
milling. Another bolt with a locknut tapped into the upper part of the stop
provides localized pressure at the top edge of the plate. A horizontal mill
can snatch items right out of the vice without using this type of endstop to
take the forces. A Bridgeport generally pushes parts over more slowly, but
can bust a cutter for you..

Help me to visualize this a bit more. The vise has jaws held in place
by a few screws.
I can replace the current jaws with a plate that uses the same
threads, but goes up several
inches higher than the current jaws. What's this "bolt with a locknut
tapped into the
upper part of the stop"? What does this bolt screw into?
