So to set up a vice on the bed, I:
1: Clean the bed/vice.
2: Apply a small amount of rust preventative to the bed.
3: Position the vice fairly parallel.
4: Tighten one screw like a mother.
5: Tram the vice
6: Once parallel, I then tighten the second bolt.
(TLDR: Exactly how the HAAS tip of the day vid shows)
Now, when I tram the vice it's within a couple tenths. But when I'm tightening the second nut, the vice always moves an extra couple of tenths, even if I don't apply a rust inhibitor.
So I basically see which way the vice is moving, and tram again purposefully off to try and compensate. Usually works ok, but it's kinda hit or miss.
Maybe tighten the second side with a toe clamp first and then tighten the bolt maybe? Idk, what do you guys normally do?
