Forgive me for the beginners question but....
Now that I have a real drill press in the shop I am looking to purchase a decent vise of some sort and was wondering what the approaches are for getting a flexible setup.
The drill press is the 24" gear head Feeler S600B- a clone of the Arboga.
The press has a T slot square table set on a turret so it rotates plus the arc available by swinging around the column.
I end up needing the table for sheet goods, plus the normal run of heavy bar and plate.
What are the dodges to clamp things down to hit center without having to shift the vise position for every hole?
I thought about a two axis vise of some sort but it doesn't look like they have the balls for heavy drilling?
Just get a decent size drill press vise with the slots and hang a wrench by the machine?
Or maybe to put this another way..
Best drill press vise to buy?
Thanks
