When I purchased my first Milling Machine, a free standing RODNEY my finances were stretched, and I was looking around for a small project to try out my new acquisition. I only had a small drilling machine vice, so decided to make a machine vice for the mill. The vice measurements 8x4 inches overall. Base ht 1 inch, 3off Blocks of stock MS 2.25 X 1.75 X 1.25 inches, Guide Bar 10.75 x 1inch, Screw 1/2 inch BSW. 8.75 inches overall. The base can be fabricated from standard sections, or machined from solid. Cheers David |

Nice job on the vice David :clap: Any chance of some pictures of your RODNEY milling machine? I have a small Rodney drill press that i have restored, but I cannot find any info on the company that made it. Cheers Rob :thumbup: |

That's an interesting design. Am I correct that the long piece of flatbar that's visible is connected to the moving jaw, and prevents it from lifting? -Sparky |

Hi Guys thanks for your comments. Rob a ref. and pics at www.lathes .co.uk / rodney This is a Machine Tool Reference Archive. Select Milling machines, then scroll down to Rodney. Tony will provide more info by email if req'd . Sparky, you are quite right, the guide bar is attached to the moving jaw, and prevents it from lifting. David |
