Did you look a the slide lock vise?
 ---------------------------------------
I have used one that I wasn’t all that impressed with, mainly for the limited range and sensitivity of clamping forces. I drill and mill 0.030" aluminum and clear plastic, usually over a wood backer it may or may not be attached to, with tee slot clamp hold-downs as needed. An example is cutouts for the rectangular panel meters I've mentioned. 0.030" is stiff enough after being folded into a box.
 

I had to use it a couple times before I got a feel for it.  Now it just stays on the drill press all the time.  If it had a quick release jaw it would be even better.  Remember.  You make  it any way you need it.  I made the one I posted pictures of as a "universal", but I might make it differently if I had a particular application for it.  The biggest thing I like about it is it almost totally eliminates any chance of the spinning saw blade.
