Nice job Pete. Looks like the one I made many years ago. Maybe this tip can help you...after the n'th time having the speed handle speed drop on top of my feet, I counterbored a rare earth magnet in the bottom of the hole to help it stick to the vice shaft. Hasn't been a problem since. :beer: |

I have a set of vise "speed handles" made a long time ago. --- End quote --- As a famous British celebrity* said not so very long ago (when explaining that in British English, the "hood" of a car is called a "bonnet", someone called out that a bonnet was a kind of hat worn by babies and ladies in the Wild West... ...to which our hero** replied - "We British are totally capable of understanding that the same word may have two completely different definitions!" i.e. in British English - vice = a device to clamp work to a bench/milling machine/shaper/whatever. Or drugs. Or even pornography, that's considered a "vice" here. Meanwhile, the word "vise" does not exist! Similarly tires, aluminum, oh - and the thing that goes over the engine of a car? It's a bonnet! A hood is the thing on a coat that keeps the rain off your head! * Jeremy Clarkson, on Grand Tour. ** hero or villain - ironically he's usually both, simultaneously. |
