If you mill them in-situ then they will be perfectly square and true
too. Until you move them.

I saw a clever plan once where the guy attached a square piece of steel
to the bottom of the vise. The steel fits the table T slot precisely. He
then lined the vise up and tightened the piece of steel in place. This
way you can remove the vise and replace it ti the same alignment every
time.

I keep meaning to fit a key to the bottom of my vice.
Or alternatively, something
All Kurt vises are keyed on the bottom. They even sell the keys in
different stepped widths IIRC. My import vises are also keyed the same
(but included the keys and have to be ground down if you have something
other than a bridgeport sized slot.) So maybe the guy wasn't so clever;)

For a specific machine table it possible to imagine 3 (or more) square
pegs that align the vice to the T-slots in the 4 cardinal
All I can say... Is that I have had the cheap vices and tried to get one
ground even to be flat and square. The reality tho is that if you really
want to make parts and not screw around with things and waste time, the
Kurt vises and some of the other top end vises are worth every single thin

Gentlemen,
my experience dictates
DO NOT TRUST KEYS TO ALIGN VISES AND HOLDING FIXTURES!!!
always verify the alignment with appropriate precision devices
just my 2 cents

Hi Stuart,
true, but it's much easier to just verify that the alignment is correct
than to align it without a key ;)
Cheers,

Agreed! keys, dowels and ground rear rails of slots
are only to get you closer quickly

Yup, I agree! if the keys were tight enough to get a few tenths

Yup, I agree! if the keys were tight enough to get a few tenths
alignment from end to end on the vise jaw, it would be hard to
put the key into the slot. Also, my understanding of the
way the
slots are made in at least some machines is the slots are
milled first, then the dovetails are cut (or
