.Hi guys just wondering what the best size vise would be for my new MINI MILL?
Kurt DX6 is a great fit in my SMM. I also have a small, precision vise on a keyed base that I use once in a while on very small parts.

Hi guys just wondering what the best size vise would be for my new MINI MILL?
Gerardi. Size 2 (125mm) or Size 3 (150mm).
Don't know nor care.4,000 lbs of Haas, but...
.. max weight on table, vise(s) + workpiece(s), only 500 lbs Avoir "evenly distributed" ?
Don't know nor care.
Just pointing out what the OP is discussing, and it's NOT this:
2 Speed Benchtop Mill/Drill Machine
I think we ALL knew that early-on. Look up the screen at the URI:
.....machinist.com/vb/haas/new-mini-mill-vise
Point stands. "Mini". Haas sez 500 lb table load, "equally distributed".
That isn't really a very large ration for a mill with 40-taper or better and 7 1/2 HP.
Or larger. "I got mine".
OTOH, I have a "real" mill.. One with a table that will not offer to gradually bend under their weight. Top slide alone weighs more than an entire "Mini-Mill" does. Or a Birdport table.
so.. if not already twigged to, too heavy a vise, any make - will shorten the life of that MMSO's flimsy table and its guideways.
