Recently I bought a two way drilling vice with an idea of using it to hold and guide small pieces of work while machining with a router, I came up with this assembly.
The vice sits on a adjustable height table beneath the suspended router. Only used it once to cut the slots in this tailpiece, seems to work pretty well.


Cheers
