Quote:
A point against using a drill press vise for very much serious mill work is that a drill press is not made to take sideways pressure. It is made to drill, and its thrust bearing is designed to take straight line pressure. For some light work, a sturdy drill press will work OK, but under extended or heavy use, will wear off center and end up wobbling. A milling machine designed as a milling machine will be a lot better.
