Hi guys, I know this might not be the right place for this question, but my mill does just still fit on a bench, so I thought I'd ask it here.
Does anyone have any good tips or links for setting up jobs on a horizontal mill with a vertical table (tombstone fixture)?
As you can see, my vice is vertical:
and my spindle is horizontal.
My question is how do I use parallels etc in a vertically mounted vice without gravity to keep them in place while I tighten up the vice?
I will eventually have a tooling plate with tapped holes behind the vice, so simple clamping operations should be fairly eay, but I'd much rather use the vice and parallels whenever possible.
Cheers.
