So I did this tonight at work. It's a 3" mill vise (imported) from LMS, it was part of one of their accessory packages that I bought when I bought my mini mill. I was snugging the handle down when I heard/felt a soft 'thunk.'
Cracked it on both sides. I've been using it for about 3 months, but not daily, and definitely not improperly. I had it positioned in the middle of the table, directly under the spindle pretty much, and I had it secured with 4 clamp set-ups.
Any recommendations on brands/models to look at, as well as ones avoid? I'm thinking I'd like to get something a little bigger and deeper, maybe a 4" or 5", or would that be too big for a mini mill bed? I'm going to have to keep the pricing below $300 if possible.
