I don't know if this has been posted before, but I got this idea from a friend of mine using some all-thread a threaded piece of steel to help a vise on a Band saw when you're trying to clamp a too small piece in it.
I just used a 1/2" bolt with a flange nut to take up the slack on the other side of the vise to keep it from coming loose.
He also has been using a small 4-6" Harbor Freight drill press vise with the sides milled or cut off and installed in the band saw to hold lengthwise pieces of stock to cut them.
