Anybody ever got their vice dialed in correctly on one axis, then checked the other axis via clamping a large parallel or known square block in the jaws only to see the needle on the gauge move a fair bit.
I've never actually tried doing this myself before, always just done the X axis, following on from my thread below and trying to mount this larger vice the 'wrong way around' I've discovered it.
This vice is secondhand so it could just be that at fault, I can't detect any slop/movement in it though so maybe it's the milling table at fault? The gib screws had been looked at a while ago so there is no slop/movement detected within the table itself.
Clamping a parallel in the the smaller vice, then placing that in the larger one then results in the X axis reading being out,....I know why, the base/edges of the small vice are rough cast so obviously not parallel/square.
