No comes the problem. They will need to be re-indexed to the machine every
time they are used
Ideally, you'd want those spindexers to have a bottom-mounted rib that engages
the mill table tee slot. If you add a reference surface (a button would do),
you can align 'em on the slot, and measure the button-to-button distance to space 'em.
I wouldn't involve the vise. You'll fiddle with its jaws some day.
