Hi everyone.
I have a vise that is modeled off a Kurt vise and it came with two small blocks that mount in a groove under the base with two screws. There's actually two grooves that form a cross. I do not fully understand the purpose of these blocks and the grooves other than they seem to offer some alignment aspect of the vise to the bed but there's still plenty of play. I thought perhaps their purpose was to align the vise without the need for dialing in the vise but since there's play, that doesn't make sense.
What is their true purpose?
