Although I am neither of those people... but, I'd say bolt straight to the table of the bridgeport and use the turret for your angle. Just my 2 cents. I'll butt-out now.

Question for Frank or Matt C.
Hey guys,
I have to bore out the top half of a set of cases to accept larger cylinder
liners using a BP mill. My options are to try to somehow block up the case
so the openings for the liners are straight up and down....or I can clamp
the case down flat to the table and and angle the mill head to match the
angle of the holes in the case, and then suffer through re-tramming the
head.
I don't have any decent sine plate or big angle vise that would work.
What do you guys think would be the best way to go?
Thanks,
JohnnyB

So it worked out? That can get pretty hairy, bolting straight to the table. But, anything that awkward in a vise?! no thanks!
