Machine Vice

NickG:
Nice 1! Looks like you have  :proj:

I had one of those sort of vices many moons ago when I had a little sherline milling machine. The vice was brilliant! The machine was really accurate to give it its due but a just for small things! Didn't have a quill feed either which limited it a bit!

turning the chamfer on the mushroom ring now need to drill it and part it off

Fly cut finish on back of rear jaw ready for drilling for locking mechanism

vice and parts for locking mechanism so far
(needs a longer caphead the biggest i have it too short)


once I get a longer caphead tomorrow i can give the vice a final fly cut
also thinking of making some alternative jaws in brass and stainless to fix to the existing ones

 
NickG:
Looks great, I found my vice very accurate and possible to get a high clamping force. good design as it's always pulling the jaw down as well.

Interesting project. Is that aluminum you are working on?

Yes its Aluminium (Aircraft grade) It is to be used for Aluminum only until I make some Brass and Stainless Jaws for her
I may even have her anodised
