As my name implies I am cheap. My tool money is precious to me since my wife does not yet give me a big enough allowance. Anyway here is my solution to the vise setup that I just completed. It works great.
1. screw clamp
2. matching face plate each with a "channel" cut into them (router, talbe saw, hand saw....just make sure they are at 90 degrees)
3. attach the matching face plates to the tips of the screw clamp with glue and screws. Keep the 90 degree profile!
4. screw one-half of the screw clamp to a piece of MDF that fits comfortabl on your drill press. (Mine is long enough to touch the back of the press and clamp it to the front of the table.)
** I made the center of the "V" line up directly under the center of the drill bit when the MDF is push all the way to the back throat of the press that way the Y coordinate is reproducible every time and then I can move a little left/right for the X coordinate.
Since one half of the clamp is screwed to the MDF you can set it up to tighten/loosen the clamp with only one of the screws. I have been amazed at how well this setup is working for me.
I even slip a narrow strip of 1/4" plywood (about 1'4" wide) between the face plates to act as a replaceable drill plate so I don't have to keep replacing the MDF. This should keep tear out to a minimum.
The quick clamp just clamps the whole jig to the drill press table.
