Small Machine Vice

(1/2) > >>

Meldonmech:
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

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?

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.
