Yes, I guess I could, but then there wouldn't be any room for a rotary table and maybe a smaller vise ::)
Actually, the biggest vise had the possibility to use the handle both horizontally and vertically, that would be even better suited when mounting paralell to X-axis. But like I said, I want to keep a bit of space around..

Bernd:
Trion,

I'm trying to see if I can diagonse what your electrical problem could be.

Lets try to take this one step at a time.

Is the "emergency" button supposed to turn off the spindle motor or the whole machine?

I took your pictures of the prints and tried to make them larger in my photo program. Then I discovered I can't read Norwegin very well. Although I can make out some of the words. If you could take a higher resolution picture of the prints and e-mail them to me. My e-mail addy is in the members file. Maybe I can figure out were to start looking.

Trion:
Wow, you don't have to go to so much trouble just for getting the emergency stop working! But thanks! :nrocks:
Actually, I had already planned to bother a friend of mine who's an electrician, and reads norwegian ::)

But since you ask, I would assume the emergency stop to kill everyting on the machine. The machine only has 2 buttons that can start it or parts of it. Either the start button or the fast feed button. When the emergency stop button is pressed and the machine isn't running, nothing on the machine works, but no fuses go. When the machine is running and you press the regular stop button you can hear a relay clicking and the machine stops. The start and stop button control both spindles, feed motor and coolant pump, depending on the settings on the cabinet door. And as you know, if the machine is running and you press the emergency stop, the ground fuse blows and the whole shop goes dark.

My very limited electrical knowledge tells me that there is something wrong with the wire going from the emergency stop to the relay. As this wire only leads current when the machine is running and the emergency stop is pressed.


On another note, I assembled the vise today :D


But as you can see the color is a bit off. And when you get up close, the finish isn't that great. There are a few running marks and scratches. But it does the job :)

Darren:
Even so, that's a very nice looking vice  :thumbup:

CrewCab:
Looks good from here  :beer:
