Ya also want to make sure you dont chop into the vice

actually i had to remound it anyways because of the screw holes on the bottom of the peice that bolt it together. So i just lasercut 2 sacrificial pieces out of acrylic to hold it in the wise.

The machine is quite rare, its called Benchman XT and it has a 20 tool ATC carousel which is quite convinient. But it has its own issues sometime. Though it is VERY precise in terms of repetability.
I am using acrylic for the top of the block, partly because this is the first peice i made so I am still practicing. Partly because it looks really well when you light it up. None of the local retailers had thick Polycarb so I just desided to go acrylic because I not doing anything Cathar like yet

BTW yea cartridges are AWSOME! I am going 3/8th all around even though some people dont like the restricted flow as much, I dont mind it.
I buy my cartridges from RyanHerco they usually have JohnGuest stuff in stock most of the time.
Just got my 20 cartridges today at lunch, I litterally caught the UPS guy going up to my door. Inserted them and it feels Great, and looks awsome.
