Just To Say Hello From Canada And Also To Ask A Quick Question

Welcome to the forums, if you find the length of the 6" in the way you can always cut them in half. I have cut some with carbide tooling and some cutting fluid, (rapid tap) not the easiest on the tools but I would imagine withe that small vise you only need the thinner sizes.
 
Speaking of traming the milling vise. I frequently have to remove my vise from the table. For most of my work I mount the vise side ways so I can better view what I am doing. I mounted a couple of alignment pins on the bottom of the vise. The one on the right is an eccentric which allows me to provide the adjustment. Now we drop the vise in the t slot, push to the back of the slot to align and tighten down bolts

Jim, I keep getting an error message ,probably I need to login first.
TA, Thanks ,I have a Portaband to cut them in half, hope it works otherwise I'll just leave them 6" until I find a better cutting tool.
David,that's a clever set up, I'm sure it doesn't take you long to square it up.
