| Making a milling vice |

| NormanV:
Thanks everybody. I got most of the machining on the main casting done this evening. I'll post some pictures tomorrow. |
| NormanV:
As promised, here is the main casting with the slide attached. I had to use a mixture of screws as that is all I had, doesn't affect the performance but doesn't look too good. |
| NormanV:
Here it is with the moving jaw installed, I had to machine some of the fillet away in the lower corners as it obstructed the moving jaw. |
| NormanV:
I was anxious as to whether the care that I took to get the jaws parallel had paid off so I made a couple of wooden wedges to clamp it and was delighted to find that it clamps squarely. |
| NormanV:
Can somebody tell me the diameter of the clamping screw usually used on a 4" milling vice. I am undecided whether to use 1/2" or 5/8". Thanks. |
