1. Select your method of workholding

2. Place on mill table

   1. For Vice

      1. Locate the vice with bolts, try to eyeball it as straight as possible, and ever so slightly tighten down

      2. Grab a dial gauge and attach to spindle

      3. Jog the mill so that the tip of the dial gauge is very close to the fixed edge of the vice. (It is very important that you dial off of the fixed side of the vice)

      4. Turn your handle jog speed down and move the spindle so the dial gauge just barely touches the vice. Note the direction that the dial gage pointer moves.

      5. Jog the spindle across the face of the vice, and pay attention to how much the pointer is moving. If the pointer goes more than a few times around the dial, you can break it by moving any further.

      6. Use the dead blow hammer to tap the vice into alignment. You are looking for the deviation across the length of the vice to be under 1-2 thou depending on how precise your part needs to be and how long it is. 1 thou across a long distance and across a short distance are not equal, think about the angle propagation at length.

   2. For 3 Jaw Chuck

      1. Literally just bolt it to the table

      2. thats it

      3. theres no other steps

3. In your cam, determine how for down in Z you are going to go from the top of your stock. Then select a parallel size that leaves at least this value, plus a little clearance( at least 0.075 inches) sticking out of the vice. Place you stock on the parallels and tighten the vice down. Hit the top of your stock with a dead blow.
