Super Strong Machinist Vice

I've recently acquired a mini mill but my existing vise is utterly useless. This milling vise, however, stands out due to its exceptional functionality and affordability within my budget (a steel version can be found on Amazon at this link: http://amzn.to/28MwWtd). The key factor that contributes to the strength of this design lies in the precision-cut steel plates that are carefully glued into place to evenly distribute forces. Take a look at the impressive picture of the tin can I was able to crush using this vise. For added convenience, I've included a printable template for creating the face plates. One notable advantage of this vise is its ability to be used in reverse for securely holding large objects from the inside out. Additionally, the main lead screw remains stationary as the slide moves, allowing for easier access underneath the mill when handling it.
