Op2 part locating in my 2" double station vises on my Brother R650

This shows a good way to locate your parts for op2 when you can't have stops on the side, like milling those exposed sides. Here I am locating on the dowel holes but you can locate off of any internal feature that is accurately machined. I have one part that I locate this way off of form tapped 10-24 holes and I safely locate to +/-.002", which is fine for that part. If I wanted to be more accurate I could drill the holes with a 3 flute drill for better size and location and cut tap them. If you don't know this trick then it's just another tool for your proverbial tool box.
I make the vises in the video and sell them, as well as others, on my website at cgsw.us/vises

What are the two other plates bolted to your table for?

To raise my Kurt vises high enough that I can reach them. Minimum spindle gage line to table is 9.8" on this machine.
