Im beginning to occasionally need miter capacity beyond what an abrasive saw, which I loathe, will handle.
My H band is good sized and stout, 12" sq capacity, and the rigid jaw is pinned square. The vise bed and arm upport are a single large casting. I don't want to mess with that because that MF'er cuts straight as can be, maybe a few thou out per inch of cut. I'm thinking I could clamp a small swiveling mill vise in the machine's normal vise but that seems pretty hack. On the flip side, soft jaws in a vise could be quite handy. I also considered attaching something like a sine plate to the solid jaw and that has the virtue of not adding height to the assembly, but I'd need a traveling jaw that pivots to accommodate the stock's angle. No big deal, but another piece to create.
Has anyone done or seen something more elegant?
