I use one of these 80mm versatile ones on the CNC and with a bit of a change of jaws will also hold larger work for light machining so you only need the one. I don't use my vices with the swivel base in place unless there is the rare need to.

I've got a slightly larger & heavier 'economy' vice for odd times I need extra capacity. As is often the case, a lot of it depends on what sort of work you are holding the majority of the time, just don't get anything too big - they will get in the way with this machine and it's limited table size and clearance. regards Mike
