Making a 2 Piece Vise For The Milling Machine

G'day everyonem In this video I will be making a 2 piece vise for the milling machine. I have an upcoming project where I will be machining a big 300x 150 x 50 piece of steel and the current vise will not be big enough. Clamps will not be enough, and since I have a space piece of that bar stock on hand I decided to make a 2 piece vise. A 2 piece vise is not something that is new to me, I have made 2 of them previously, but they both suffered from a small amount of jaw lift, which really freaked me out. I have made a few changes to that old design to hopefully reduce that from happening. This project was quite a long one to make, went through a lot of coolant and took the life out of several endmills. I hope you enjoy the video. #machining #millingmachine #visebuild Timestamps 0:00 - Introduction and Design 4:12 - Cleaning Up The Stock 6:10 - Machining The Top Part Of The Moving Jaw 11:34 - Machining The Lower Part Of The Moving Jaw 16:04 - Machining The Locking Balls 17:54 - Machining The Fixed Jaw 19:46 - First Assembly 20:35 - Making The Soft Jaws 21:49 - Final Assembly and Test Two Piece Vise 2 Piece Vise 2 Piece Vice
