Recommend economical micro adjustable milling table/vice

[Hawk45]

Though I don't have a mill (would love to) I would like to get a nice yet economical mill table and vice for my drill press. I don't plan on using my press for a mill, but I want to be able to better control my drilling and placement than using my current system of moving my hand and clamping down with C-clamps. One thing I want to be able to do is make some blood groves which will require me to make multiple small drill cuts in a straight line, then clean up by hand. I'd love to be able to make a cut, turn a wheel to advance the blade, make another cut, advance and so on down the line and know everything will line up straight.

I checked enco and they seem to go for just over $100 to $1200.

Any help would be appreciated.

www.wttool.com. They sell one for about $150.00. Looks well made.

Yes, I believe what you are looking for is a drill press cross sliding vise. The link you posted should work. Here are some others to consider. http://www.grizzly.com/products/category/590040

I plan to try one of these myself.

Thanks for saving me a ton of cash, I almost ordered a sliding mill table ($200) and a separate vice to attach to it ($40). Ordered up one of the Grizzly sliding vices.. should be a good addition to the shop.

Just an FYI, Zoro tools will have 30% off on orders over $200 in a couple days.
