Vice speed? handle

<< < (3/4) > >>

Lew_Merrick_PE:
Well (not being able to resist), my "vice speed" is usually accomplished with rolling papers and flue-cured tobacco.

I have a set of vise "speed handles" made a long time ago.  What I "discovered" many years ago is to install a spring plunger to maintain pressure when a (slip fit) handle is used or they decide to take flight at the most inopportune times.

Spurry:
Handle finally finished. Main problem was trying to decide on the length of the bars. In the end, I decided on the maximum they could be, without interfering with the Y feed. It works really well to move the jaws from fully open to closed. Only downside is the weight, (but that might assist with the inertia to spin.) I was going to drill a complete set of 12mm holes, but could not calculate the angles and depth when they would start to break into each other , so interspersed the 12mm's with 6mm holes.
As I have yet to work out how to put words between photos, here's the list:
1. position of handle when jaws fully closed
2. back view
3. front.
4. clearance shown dictated max length of bars.

As yet, there is no sprung-ball retainer, (as advised) but will try without, and hope the experience is not too painful.  :palm:

Pete,
Looks to be a fine piece of machining and very functional too....  :bow:

Spurry:
Thanks for the comments. One has to make a bit of an effort in view of the high standards portrayed round here.
