      Hi, I am thinking of adding the latest Myford vice & the larger 4-slot adjustable vertical slide. It is an expensive option & there is a case for sourcing a second-hand bench top vertical mill. However I have found that improving/renovating/upgrading my Super-7 to be a satisfactory and enjoyable route….

      Does anyone have any positive/negative experience with these parts??

        Years ago I bought a myford vertical slide second hand and the bracket isn’t square to the base.

                  I’d put the money towards a proper mill. More rigid, bigger clamping area, bigger travel, easier to set up, etc

                  I’m not sure how useful the longer 4 slot one will be as you run a greater risk of the bottom of the table hitting the bed so travel may not be any more than the 3 slot
