    Plate done and vice mounted.









    Yes, I could do with larger OD washers. These were all that Screwfix had and the Fixings store I normally go to is now miles away as we moved. That and he closes early xD
    The M8 extrustion T-nuts from RS are fine. The bolt is hard to start threading into them but once you have it they really do help.
    I think the M6 would have been a bit to small as that would have meant smaller washer too. These things are not going to move.

    Z is 0.2mm high at one side of the vice on the Y-axis. X-axis there is no difference.
    The Y-axis measurement was taken 350mm from the back of the vice to the front. Most of my parts are sub 100mm so that should be more than fine?

    The vice is square or within measurable tolerance with the probe and dial indicator.



    It also looks dank af... I get points for that no?
