I am only a couple of months in on using my new to me mill. I picked up an older bridgeport vise.
It did not have a swivel base. At first I said I don't need it. It will lead to less rigidity. But now, I am wondering how I'll make angled cuts. The vise is bigger than my table.
How often do you use your swivel?
Can you do it w/o the swivel still in the vise? I can't forsee blocking it up easily.
Sure I could clamp to the table...
just looking for ways to make a decision.
