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.

I have the same exact feeling. Thanks

Same here. Go into most commercial shops and the vises are all without
the swivels.

Gunner, who has a stack of swivels someplace..but none on his machines.

One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
