Why did I put the piece so high in the vise? Hmm, that's a good question. It really only needs to be up about 1/8" to clear the weld, eh? I guess laying the parallels flat instead of vertical would be better.

Carbide. Nothing against it. But in our shop the mill is occasionally used by others of highly varying skill levels, resulting often in tools broken, lost, dulled or chipped. In fact I've been using roughing mills for almost all of our work because they stand up better to hard and improper usage.
