To align a vise on a mill, I use a dial indicator attached to the mill's spindle to check the alignment of the vise jaws with the machine's table travel. Just move the table and watch the indicator for any runout then adjust the vise until the jaws are parallel to the table's axis, ensuring accurate workpiece positioning. In my shop we take the time to get the alignment perfect and the outcome of the job comes out perfect and on time.
