Wawoodman,
The way you are making the cut is fine and I don't think your vice is the problem.
I still have the feeling the spindle speed is too fast for the material.
Have you tried 400 rpm as suggested by Sunset.
Just remember milling with HSS has always been regarded as a slow process. Although better and quicker than a hacksaw and filing, tends to come out a lot squarer as well
