Super X1L Suggested Accessories ?

heh, I had no idea there was any such thing as parallels until a few months ago. "What are they for then? Ooo! Nice"

Well, everything was making sense, then I started to look for a vice which lead to further understanding of clearance height along with skewing jaws, lifting jaws, the need or otherwise for a swivel. The list goes on, in fact some seem happy just clamping to the table :o

On possible vice candidate is the Vertex 'angle fixed' VA4 http://www.chronos.ltd.uk/acatalog/info_VA4.html, looking around it comes highly recommended but is out of stock in various places just now. Axminster do something that appears to be a re-badged Vertex http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster...07/?src=kelkoo, I'm not sure about this, I mean it's white for a start, lol, it's also a good £40 less than the Chronos price, this doesn't sound right.

The other main candidate would be a 80 or 100mm precision tool vice a'la http://www.arceurotrade.co.uk/Catalo.../Machine-Vices. These appear to be an acquired taste and require some sort of clamping arrangement to be contrived. Back to pondering.

@John S,
Are you the same John S who started the yahoo X1,2,3 group? Many thanks if so.
