Mini Mill Vise Recommendations?

[Lon Aguiar]

Can anyone recommend a decent milling vise for the HF mini mill?
I’m going to use it mostly for folder stuff; (cutting locks, nail nicks).

Thanks,
Lon

Hi,

I would recommend a screw-less tool makers vise like similar to this one. here

An important thing about any mill vise you may get is that it really needs to cam the part down, rather than up when you tighten the vise. In-line screw vises like this one, here are notorious for camming up as they are tightened.

You may also want to consider making dedicated fixtures to hold your parts too. Extra hassle to start with, but far more satisfactory in the long run.
