Hi Wong,
Have a look round for "Machine Vises" or "Milling machine vises"
Kurt and Vertex do good vises albeit expensive - just go for one with a screw.
100mm or 125mm jaws (jaw width) nice and heavy and solid. It needs to have 4 hold down holes so that it can be mounted either transverse or longitudinal. (I read that somewhere
)
Then do you want it to have a swivel base. Some with a swivel base can be taken off the swivel base and used without the base. (Useful).
A small solid rigid vise is better for milling than a large flimsy vise.
Probably a 100mm jaw width may be best for your mill - Just a thought.
