    I've got one on my macining center...

    it has it's pros and cons:

    Pros are obvious...

    Cons:

    Needs Surface area and thickness to achieve hold down ( small blocks won't stick)

    Chips stick to it, so if you're milling close to the bottom, the chips won't blow away with air, you'll start double cutting them...

    Overall i'm happy with it though... it serves it's purpose really well
