PALMGREN 250 MACHINING VISE

That is a drill press vise. Not suitable for milling.
 
I respectfully disagree Mikey, I've used it on a 1022 without any problems. Hee's a pic of the backside of the vise showing the attachment which is OEM except for the hold down I machined so that I could attach to the compound.

No offense meant. I own a similar Palmgren vise so I'm not altogether unfamiliar with them. How much jaw lift does yours have? I can see a work piece move in my vise as I tighten it, which is why I ask. Even if I wack the work piece down, I can't get it to sit dead vertical.
 
I didn't take any offense Mike, I am totally a hobby machinist and work in thousandths not tenths. Anything I've used the vise for was simply to get a rough fit. I agree it's not a Kurt or Orange vise, but with mini lathe or mine mill, it's worked for me.
