I've used that method to align large parts on the table and I can see where it would work on a free floating vise, but not on one with keys. The dynamic method I use, where the angle of the vise is adjusted as the indicator is moving along the jaw will work with any vise.

Tom,

I use the process basically very similar to yours, taught to me by my grandfather, about 45 years ago, but I saw the ball bearing method, thought it was interesting. But probably not interesting enough for me to change my current method.
