This simple extension makes it easier to hit the On/Off switch on your speed controller. By simply cutting a 7/8" length of 3/8" rubber tubing which has a 1/8" inside diameter and slipping it over the ball end of the on/off switch, it just takes the flick of one finger to operate the switch instead of having to search for it. A short length of 3/16" diameter brass or other material pressed into the open top end gives the switch extension a professional, finished look.
If you purchase a second mill vise, either as a separate unit or along with the new rotating vise base, the two vises can be used in tandem to hold long work between them. With both vises mounted to the mill table, long stock can be held between the vises so that both the top and edges can be worked.
(NOTE: Sherline vises are not sold in matched sets, and maintaining an exact height is not a tolerance that Sherline considers critical in production. If both vises are purchased at the same time and are from the same batch it is likely that they will be the same height, but you don't have to worry about differences in height if you support your long stock between the vises by using parallels underneath the stock. This will assure that the stock is parallel to the mill table even if the vises are not the same height.--a setup tip from Wm. Dubin)
