Thx, I have no machining experience so bare with me. Is the X Y compound vice also called a cross slide? Would something like this be suitable. I'm not sure what the price range for decent would be. Not trying to drain the bank but would like to get something before the Joe Biden ban. https://files.catbox.moe/c17gyw.png

A modular jig might fall under any temporary unconstitutional "ban" but the cross slide/X Y compound vice should be available for ever. Just do research and look up the specs. They should all come with some form of specs for margin of precision/error. Use machine forums or even fbook pages. A tool like this opens more doors to you than just to mill out a lower. It's an investment in yourself more than anything
