I have a brand-spankin'-new Kurt D675 vise (no oopses yet) and I needed a way to
do angled slots. I found this swivel base on eBay

BUT...my little brain doesn't see how this fits, it seems like I need some other
part. I confess, I didn't take the vise off of the mill because it's within
half a thou of perfect and somebody's got a job in process. I picked-up a
cheapie 4" swivel vise at the local store for the immediate job and actually,
it's pretty nice! But, I wonder if the attachment for the Kurt would be a good
investment and if I would just leave it on all the time or is there a downside
to that.

Why is it that the better and better your tooling gets, the more complex,
intricate and difficult your designs get...it seems were always on the edge of
the capabilities of out stuff. I'm afraid I'll loose my simplistic thinking.

That round thing in the center is a pin that fits a hole in the bottom of
your vise. There is a tee slot groove milled around the diameter of the
base that matches up with the tee slot holes in your vise.

Where did you get it Tom, at Production Tool or JTS Machinery? I have the 4"
vise from JTS and like it a lot also.

Neat, a place I wasn't aware of. What all do they have there?
