Here are some free stock photos of a vertical machining center, showing the setup for drilling holes in an S45C steel plate. The plate is clamped vertically using a vise.
While it’s crucial to align the vise itself, we always double-check the alignment directly on the workpiece after clamping. Also, since the plate is thin, there’s a risk of chattering near the center, so extra care is needed.
