    Can drill holes for DIN dowel pins for alignment. If your vice doesn't have any alignment holes then you can just put two in on one side and butt the vice up against it. Obviously it won't be perfect unless the vice has a milled edge but it's at least as accurate as your current method of aligning to the edge of the CNC

    It has space under it that will allow me to have the pins protrude to the vice's solid side and I can get it level that way.

    Should only cost about £50 all in which sounds about right.

    So it came to £60.

    Not going the full 700mm, only 500mm so I have some room at the back to use for things not needing the water bed.
    With 50-100mm hang over that means half of the table is water bed, half stock where I can put a wood spoil board.


    Guessing that 2 Flute bit that came with the unit will be enough to cut the few guide pin holes and screw holes?
