That's true if you have a proper sized milling machine. On my little Novamill there isn't enough head room to get a 3mm drill over it once it is up in a vice.

But if you only want one then I agree that fixtures are overkill. I just hate spending all my time setting the machine up for thirty seconds of machining.
