Darren,

If it is a good bit of stuff, it will never go to waste. It will sit in the background until the right project comes along, eventually (some of my stuff is still here, 20 years later).

I will post some piccies tomorrow.

Here we are Darren,

I have put a few piccies at the bottom.

Basically you push the black ball in until the moveable jaw hits the job, then you push down on the red one to tighten everything up.

It is designed as a high speed drilling vice, where you can quickly mount and dismount the part to be drilled.

As I said, not overly rigid, OK for drilling, not for heavy machining.

Darren:
Thanks John,

Yes that is eery, similar to "wot I just invented" oh well someone got there first, at least it's not my name associated with a disappointing clamping device.... :lol:

Ok, I realise it does well for what it was intended for and that I'd be simply stretching it beyond it's design criteria... :dremel:

I won't make one then....I think a Vertex may be coming my way soon..... :thumbup:

bogstandard:
There are very few new designs and inventions Darren, just old discoveries, resurrected by the use of modern materials and techniques, that now make them a viable proposition, whereas in their day, could not be seen to be a profitable exercise.

The vice I show here is a rather expensive unit, and at the forefront of cutting edge technology, for manual drilling vices. Machining vices are in another world.

I think your choice of going for the Vertex is a good one.
