I have a swivel milling vise. Do I understand it right, as it seems,

the swivel base off?

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.

Ditto what Jon said about rigidity. I also like keys on the vise bottom.
Just slide the vise in the slots and its square. Saves a lot of setup time.
