Way back in my early teens, dad bought a new mill with the help of a friend if his. Along with it he bought a new Palgrem 6" mill vise. Few months later after dad turned me loose with some trust, I was doing some heavy slot cutting with a 3/4" end mill. Well after cleaning up my mess, some how the end mill must had moved in the collet and cut into the soft jaws of the vise. Or I mis-calculated my depth some how.

Oh my, what a a$$ chewing I got over that! So if someone out there has a 6" Palgrem mill vise with two 3/4" wide slots about 1/16" deep, I confess, I did that!
