I like your fabrication skills, and you are doing good work, however I think in the long run if you get the machine really working you'll find that designing around what is still a manual mill is probably a mistake. I'm not trying to discourage you, keep up the hard work, just don't be surprised when you pretty quickly realize what you have done isn't really appropriate. The good news is that you are perfectly equipped to evolve the design as needed.
Also, skip the Kurt and buy a Shars 4" vise. A 5" vise will work on this machine, a 6" vise is too big although workable. 4" vises however really are the sweet spot, I run two of them at times on my G0704. I have a 6" vise that I use too, but it dwarfs the table and is just too much vise for the majority of ops.
