Darren:
Oh, and why the step in the main body...?

Well if I remove the movable jaw plate I can hold a large piece of flat plate, what's more it will be truly flat as the vice have been machined on this very milling machine... :)

sbwhart:
Well done Darren  :thumbup: Its always satisfying when you turn a no hopper onto a useful bit of kit,

For some reason the pics have not opened up any one else had problems  :scratch:

PS

Pics loaded up second time of asking and wow thats some impresive bit of milling really ripping along very well done Darren with that tool regrind,

I like your idea for flat plate work......  :thumbup:

BUT be carefull not to drill through into the vice!  :lol:

Darren:
Thanks David,

I'll see if I can remember not to do that..... :lol:

I decides to clean up one of the jaw plates last night as the faces where in a teriible state. First it was milled by clamping on the top of the vice as described previously.

I used a new cutter and the finish was excellent, would have been good enough as is, but I decided to wipe a diamond file over it to finish off..

It ended up with a parallelism of 0.01mm, better than the original.... :)

I haven't been able to follow this post up to now, but you are doing a great job Darren, bringing it back from the brink.
