How important is it to have a vise that tilts or angle off the table for milling. There is so much cheap sh** out there its difficult to see what is robust and tight enough for even a small milling machine like my Clausing 8520.
It looks like the 2 inch is too small to really be usefull and anything bigger than 4-5 inches takes most all my z axis!

Skip,
It may depend a bit on what sort of projects you are working on. You may want to consider just clamping the workpiece at a suitable angle in a standard vice. I have a cheapish tilting vice that came with my mill and have never used it.

You can get a tilting fixture plate that you can clamp your workpiece to (bout a solid as you can get) IMHO:biggrin:
