Looks quite a good idea:

Wouldn't want to mill on it. Fine for a drill press. These are cheap enough.

I've got a nice small machine vice I plan on mounting on this.

Back in the 90's ALL the Taiwanese Mill / Drills came equipped with a vice like that

I bought one 20 years ago, I've never used it, you can get them from machine mart cheap enough (just over £20)

they wont be the most accurate piece of kit and a bit flimsy for any serious machining work.

Starting to think I shouldn't of posted this!

Don't let us brow beat you

They were sold under the name 'Dinky Vice' and a google search still pulls up images of them

The weak point in the design would be the fellow doing up the wing nut(s).

There some right vice nerds and fetishists about. Buy build what you need for your tasks, stuff what everyone else thinks. Opinions are like noses everyone has one

[brightspark]

cobble one together or buy one. its all down to what u are doing and how much u want to spend and availability quality wise

Lol.
The state of the table and a broken handle to raise the head are its only faults
Once I'd reconnected the motor fired straight up. Cant complain for £170
The table will be fixed when I have time.
