53 forum posts 8 photos	Hi Muzzer I do have a milling vice. But holding the round bar between flat faces didnt seem as secure as the tool holder. I didnt use the tee slot because I wanted to access all of the end of the bar without hitting the edge of the slot. The QCTP holder was very easy to set up too - I posted because I thought that this was a good solution to the job that I had on hand and that others might consider it as an arrow in their quiver.
