Just curious Andrew, did you mean "slotter" head? If so I'd love a peek at that.
I would mount the vise 90° to the way you have yours, but then, I broke my shaper so maybe I shouldn't comment.

Hi Steve,

Yes it does have the SLOTTER head!
Stupid spell check does not recognize that word and changes it to slitter...

At the moment i am using a cheap drill press vise and that is the only way it will fit in the pre drilled holes in the top plate.
Looking for the correct vise may take some time....
Also most shaper vises have a removable crank that is removed once the work is secured. The drill press one gets in the way of the table in/out feed handle if mounted 90 degress to what it is now....

Here are some pics of the slotter head!



And the slotter head
