Any special suggestions on clamping round stock for milling, or do you just use a good tight vise setup?

For stuff up to the capacity of a 5C, they make square blocks with a collet that clamps from the back end. Put the part in, mill, flip to the next side, mill, etc etc. I think they make hex ones, too. They aren't too expensive.What about clamping directly onto the mill table, into a T slot? I seen people set up their round stocks this way and it works, no deflection and don't have to worry if your vise is going to cause inaccuracies. The only problem is, I do need to index them accurately...
now I gotta look and see if he is still around.
