At the moment i'm considering this..

or the champion mill on the same site, either of these of ny use?
Stay away from them both. They don't have enough Y travel. Once you put the vise on your going to be out of room. You should get one with at least 6" of Y travel (they seem to call it cross travel) which is 152.4mm.
