It is easy to align the vise to the X axis and then you can do anything
with CNC. *I found very early that the swivel base gave up a LOT of
rigidity, to the point you could see the vise vibrate on heavy cuts. *
Machining went a lot better when I took it off.

well ya............. what are you hogging on a manual thats vibrating
it loose? broken tap E/M :-)
more cutter teeth = smoother cut?
5 flt apkt type inserts are key. ie : ingersol- saweet - no coolant
neceassary just a air blast or preferably "cool gun"
