I've got a 6" Palmgren that is huge and heavy. I bought it in the 'early days' of my metalworking addiction when all I had was my drill press. We don't need no stiiiiiinking milling machine! Boy was I wrong... 
Of course the mounting legs on the vise don't match up with the T-slots on my drill press table so it has to be clamped down Rube Goldberg style. And the base is too low to allow turning the lower crank handle because it hits the drill table. If I move it to where the crank handle hangs off the edge of the table where I can turn it, then it's too far out from the spindle. So I have an expensive boat anchor basically.
