Tom - My Kurt vice sits right one. There are lugs that screw in the bottoms and
they fit the mill table slots. Tram to the jaws and you can move the vise
off-and-on as long as the slots are true and you leave the lugs on.

Before I buy a rotating base - I'd look at one at MSC or some place - kurt site
for a catalog. That might be missing a top plate that fits the vise.

I have a catalog, but it is on a disk among tons of other files.
