   A mill vise will probably work, but I never have one mounted anywhere   
   other than a mill table.  I like the bench vise (very heavy steel bench)   
   for this sort of work because I have it on the corner where I can work   
   all the way around a part.   
      
   Someday when I have a layout and assembly table that doesn't suffer from   
   HSD (Horizontal Surface Disease) I may mount both a bench vise and a   
   mill vise on the table for different things.  A mill vise is better for   
   things like a hydraulic tapping arm if I ever decide I need one.

   Somewhere I saw a suggestion of a pipe vise bolted to a heavy timber for   
   unscrewing things that required a lot of torque and custom machined jaw   
   inserts.
