I have this idea instead of mounting a vertical vise on the carriage for milling, why can't I just make various height blocks, and use them as a spacer to raise the TP height manually, my workpiece in the chuck and use a dremeloid flex shaft mounted in a tool holder?
having a tough time affording a vertical vise that'll hold a 4 - 4.5" round billet and the means to mount it on my G8688 mini.
so I thought I could get use a longer stud for the TP and get some bar stock in .25, .5, and 1", cut 2x2's as spacers. preferably steel, but would 6061 aluminum be ok?
