Nice one Peter.

I think everyone has in their minds eye what their own solution to a problem is.

A good example of what will do for you.

John I would realy like to be able to make one like yours but I know my limitations, I wanted to make something that if I C*ck£d up I could just replace a jaw, as I only do light stuff and only try to work in brass and ally it will do for now , it's better than what I had been using ( a long bolt replacing the one holding the jaw on with and a square of metal behind it)
dog rough, if fact it barked :scratch:

Peter,

I fully understand your problems, remember we have met.

I don't expect anyone to follow my escapades to the letter, and I know that a lot of members can only aspire to what I get up to. That is all my experience showing thru.

I don't show my bit's 'n bobs as a boasting excercise, but as a guide, in the hope people will follow and maybe come up with a method to achieve their own results, within their own capabilities, and in your case, you have succeeded in doing it.

Hence my quote.

Very very very nice....

Very nice detail.. even the mundane LOL.

THe reasoning as to why the angles of things all coming into consideration.

Yes you need a handle.. but where do you put it.. and why?

Once again THANK YOU John.. and Guys for the post, and other ideas along the way.

:update:

Here is a bump to this thread, I am thinking some of the newer members we have may not have seen this post. But I think its well worth a perusal.

I wanted to post this as I had started making one of these back in 2009.. and as I had finished the Mill Stop, my father passed away. And he had been coming by, and checking on it with interest as I was finishing it, even during his last week he was asking questions about it, and offering valid advice on the procedures for its use, and build.

I have been using it since then, but decided on the anniversary of his passing to finish it up aka polish it.

Once again.. many thanks to John for this simple design. As you can see I followed your build essentially to the letter. So I will not post a slew of pics of the build.
I did put a small brass cup on it, thats not visible in the pic.

Materials... 316LVM Surgical Stainless Steel for the shiny bits (Its what I have a lot of), Brass I think... the shiny goldish bits, A formerly round bar of REALLY HARD axle steel of some sort. Ate 4 really strong milling bits before I bought a nice carbide insert titanium coated 3/4 inch end mill (The part with the not so pretty finish).

On to the pics!!
