Thanks Syminab, that's a great idea. That's given me some new ideas on holding long parts in the mill. Thanks for the video!

Tried a similar one, good for milling wood and plastics, drilling in all materials

Excellent idea Syaminab!

Many times I have to mill slots and opening in plastic enclosures for my electronics work. My milling vises don't open far enough for some of these enclosures.

I was going to buy a 2-piece vise. I think I can make a light duty vise from your idea.

Thanks for the inspiration.

That site could prove useful.

Here's PDF download that includes plans for making a T Slot table out of steel using only a drill press and a hacksaw

I finished a steel bottom plate to replace the wood. Next step is to replace the vertical wood with steel T-slotted dealy. I'll post photos when it's done but I'm at Fort Irwin TDY for 2 weeks
