6. Don't forget to square your vise *who knew?*
and keep checking it!

I got cought out the other day. I was milling my mosfet block when i noticed the wall thickness was getting a bit thin! Clocked up the vice and it was 10 thou out! Now that was weird because all the other guys i work with insisted the vice had been on there for months and it had been used 100s of times with no problems. Must have taken a knock i guess?

Moral of the story is dont assume anything! Check Check Check!

You could make some jaws like jaydee says but it means you need a differant set for differant sizes/shapes of meterial. I just use paralells.
