Cheers Lads 


Well that's the jaws finished 


I have only hardened the plain jaws for now ,as I may still add a few mods to the other jaws .

A few really griping shots of the jaws in action , just with crap I have on the bench.


Holding work for threading .


Driving out roll pins .



Odd shaped work





Thin part



Jaws can be mixed and matched


It takes me 17 seconds ( I time it sad git) to change out all four sets of jaws ,,,,,,, it takes 7 seconds to just wind the vice open enough to get a screwdriver in to the original screws

'free to good home'......

I'll have 'em......

Seriously, nice job Rob... I like it when a plan comes together ( as Hannibal sez.....)

It truly amazes me how innovative we can be and the skill and determination we have to produce such great works.....and as usual you have surpassed yourself...

Those are really nice Rob. One day I may attempt something like that!

Splendid, inspirational job Rob - no exotic materials, just design & honest craftsmanship & a well-told story.

perchance something CNC-related?

Thanks Dave 


aaarh the CNC hoping to get back on with that at the end of the month , I really need a good sort out of both shops first so I have room to move , hoping to do it over the Easter weekend when I will have more time to drag everything out , bet it pisses down 

I may make a couple of small instrument vice'''s to fill in time, or a rad tool for the myford ,,,mmmmmmmm maybe a brake for my hydraulic press 

Rob , the indecisive one lol

Rob, those look like they might do rather well on a milling machine.... do you reckon they've got the accuracy to be repeatable? Or would you want a different way of fitting them to the vice?

[krv3000]

hi rob is you vice a record one if so then them jwas will not fit mine

Hi Ade , the way the jaws mount  to the bench vice would not be accurate enough for repeatable milling work ,there is a few thou play in them . I would go for a different approach to mounting and securing the jaws in position for a milling application. I have a couple of ideas rattling around in the old head .

Hi Bob ,,,,,,,yes it is a record vice , I will keep them to one side for you

Honestly Rob, no thank you very much..I'm sure there's someone that can make better use of them.
