its a Sieg X1,



only little. I have a vice mounted on the table of my mill, most stuff gets clamped in that, im not an engineer, not have I been trained in how to mill, so the way I use my mill is probably not how its "supposed" to be done, i dont know. Its not that hard I find I can do 95% of what I want quite easily.

Ok so... the mill (drill press?) is on the left and lathe on the right? Im still confused, if you clamp the alu down in a vice, what do you move across it to make the long cuts? Or do you clamp it to part of the mill that can slide, and use a special drill bit to slide the alu against to make the cut?

Sorry for the questions, Ive just always wondered about this.

if you look at the vise on the mill bench (the machine on the left) you can see there are handles to either screw it in or out straight or left to right. The bits are designed to cut sideways, rather than straight down. So you set the bit and then turn the handles until you have the desired cut.

edit: the handles are part of the mill bench, the vise is mounted atop that

Clears that up, thanks!
