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

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..
