As a principle of clamping, it is simply not sound practice to clamp a part at one end of the vise jaws, without a fulcrum spreader or spacer on the other end. I really don't care if the vise has .0005 clearance, torquing up the screw with a piece at one end will still skew the movable jaw enough that your part is clamped only on the inner corners.
In addition, the clamping effect is extra springy unless you have a fulcrum at the opposite end of the jaws.
First you get good, then you get fast. Then grouchiness sets in.
