1 Day Build --- Make Your Own Drill Press Vise

[@NickToland]

I have never used a lathe or a mill, maybe one day. All my knowlegde was passively learnt and much of the technical language is lost on me but i really enjoy the craftsmanship. Much respect! Ireland!

[@landonjacobs9969]

It definitely is fun to do lathes and mills watching the material chips fly of and cut away with the oil and wd 40 is fun and I'm actually going to be going to be learning cnc machines at my high school.

[@Preso58]

So, Joe has gone from the darkness to the sweetness and light of the metric system. 😄

[@mikepetersen2927]

Awesome accessory for the drill press, beautifully executed as always. Looking forward to the matching T-nuts - you can make them the same size as the tailstock lock on the lathe so you can share the wrench! 😀 Also, the heads of those tiny retaining screws look gigantic on that retaining plate!

Ahhh...a weekend morning, a hot coffee and a Joe Pi machining video is tough to beat!

Thank you Joe it is a pleasure to watch you and your explanations are awesome you are a true master at your craft . Thank you for sharing your add on’s

Spectacular work, again!! Sell your vise design to the company making the castings. Thank you for sharing!

[@mrc1539]

Amazing how much time is involved in these little projects . It can only be appreciated by anyone who has tried to do something that seemed simple in your mind only to find out how many steps are involved. Awesome job Joe 👍 !

Fantastic job Joe! I was waiting for a trip to the blaster to rough up the base “casting” but it looks awesome this way too

[@helmutzollner5496]

Beautiful little vice. Excellent work. Thank you.

[@georgehollowell9295]

Kudos to you for another informative and very entertaining video. It is obvious you are having fun making the miniature tools and accessories. Excellent job.

[@bocam2593]

WOW! Talk about deja vu! I built a vise *almost exactly* like this in my college milling class only it was 4.5 inches long. 😀 Yours has a couple of small differences, 😀 improvements, over the one I built but basically the same.

[@Bobby-md6pr]

Thanks Joe, I've been doing this stuff for 40 odd years and I learn something new every time I watch your channel. An ex employer once told me you have to be prepared to learn, regardless of how much you think you know. I try to pass on this wisdom to our apprentices. Keep up the good work, its much appreciated.

[@joepie221]

My Father always said " A day you don't learn something is a day wasted". He was a smart man. Another friend used to say " It's impossible to know what you don't know" I always translated that to, the smarter I get, the more I realize how dumb I am. :)

[@rtkville]

Thank you Joe, very nice work again!

[@robertmoore3206]

I think you'll have Kurt vise on the run for miniature vises

[@jerseyjoe2684]

Made in the USA with foreign (M4 x .7) components. Do you feel dirty? lol Great off-the-cuff design, Joe

[@ellieprice363]

I really like the two dowels that trap the rotating screw. First time I’ve seen that.

[@joepie221]

Its a sound design.

[@ellieprice363]

@@joepie221 Yes, if done very carefully with the correct radius on the screw the screw could rotate freely with no play. Another example of attention to detail.

[@peteengard9966]

Ah, the metric system. Used by 15/16 of countries around the world. :) Super cool Joe. Thank you.

[@jonathan1427]

It's more like 192/195. Which is closer to 63/64ths

[@tomlutman2041]

I’m trying to get my head around this metric thing. So you are saying 23.8125mm of the world uses metric?

[@peteengard9966]

@@tomlutman2041 You have to do the formula. Mass divided by 3.71999 AU (astronomical unit) times the coefficient of the length of time a snail can move 2 sun, 7 bu. While not an exact measurement it should be a couple hairs close. Clear as mud?

[@Bosbulls]

Great. I'm also one of those 15/16 countries that use metric mostly. Although I am quite familiar with imperial. I can't say regular, because regular for me is mm.

[@joepie221]

Funny that you use an imperial fraction when discussing metrics. Like saying half a mm. How would you say half a mm without using the word ( or implied fraction 1/2 ) half?? Are fractions imperial or metric. Is a 1/2" a different size if its metric vs imperial. Its simply another language. Nothing else. No more accurate, no less.

[@chriselop9121]

Hi Joe, if you ever want to visit Oz, just put on your visa application that you once tapped a M4 thread, they are sure to let you in

[@ellieprice363]

M4 is about .160 Imperial. There are smaller threads than that?

[@timodeporto686]

@@ellieprice363 metric starts with M1. No idea what to do with those, perhaps for watchmaking, but you can buy taps and cutters for that. Just dont sneeze or they are gone...

[@mickdanks6836]

🙂 yeah, I’m attempting to make a clock (about halfway completed) and using M2 threads.

[@nutgone100]

@@mickdanks6836 I’d probably recommend BA threads for stuff like that (British Association, they’re loosely based on the metric system though). But they’re not so easy to come by if you’re in the US.

[@mickdanks6836]

@@nutgone100 thanks for the recommendation. I’m in the UK and really have the choice I guess, I’m just more familiar with metric threading. Take care.

very good job joe

[@kenthaworkman5958]

Hi It can´t be better than this. Thanks for all explanation of cutting. Very instructive. Be safe

[@robertwatsonbath]

Nice side build Joe. I'm picking up some top tips from every video - neat way to retain the leadscrew.

[@razvanbutiac7684]

What a piece of work, super nice attention to details.

[@captianm4766]

Excellent job. I would have trouble doing work that small with my big mitts. Thanks for another great video.

[@matthewfort3740]

Very cool idea for the drill press.

[@ChevyBM]

That is a good looking tool! I am studying to become a watch-smith/watchmaker and we have been manufacturing lots of own small tools, this might be something I need to make. I'll make it out of brass, it is a softer material that wont scratch all small and delicate watch parts that easily. Thanks for the nice and motivating video!

Great looking little vice! I must apologize though - my head falls off during the video, but only a few times... I always recover during the last few minutes to see the fantastic finished product. You see, I haven't had a day off since I retired three years ago. Watching you work is just so relaxing!
