Nicely done! Also really like the SMW mod vice system. For locating the plate reliably I can recommend the bushings and locating pins Norelem sells. This enables locating the plate very accuratly without the risk of overconstraining and result in bending/warping the plate.
@JBWorx Жыл бұрын
Yes these are very nice. And you are correct the plate is over constrained I thought I could only get 2 shoulder bolts to engage and was totally surprised that all 4 went in. For real day to day shop production a steel plate with hardened bushings is the tool to have. However for hobby or light careful low production I think this will do.

I'm about to make of these myself. In my case, through holes wouldn't help because it'll be sitting flat on a granite slab. I"m going to use blind holes because I don't want chips or coolant to get between the two over time, but yes, I expect getting the chips out to be a pain. Also, making the very first fixture plate where nothing exists below it yet other than a granite surface plate presents several Catch-22 issue. Once this one's out of the way, making smaller ones like you have here will be much easier.

Nice job! That's a clean way to put the plates together, with the precision shoulder engaging both. Thanks for the idea. I have the SMW plate on my Taig. The thing I can't stand about it is the diamond shaped hole pattern, rather than a square grid. There never seems to be a hole where I need it, its always a row off. I'm surprised you kept yours a diamond since you were making it from scratch.

Great video could you please do a video on uses for the fixture plate. I understand you can clamp things down to it and put a mod vice on it. I am assuming there are more uses than just those. Seems like people that have a fixture plate really likes them but I am just not seeing the uses. Seems like a beneficial video for alot of machinists.
@JBWorx Жыл бұрын
Thank you for the request David I will add it to the list. In short the main advantage for me is alignment and availability of clamping holes. It is great to put small pallets on for different parts you make and also can hold vacuum pucks. You can also put spacers down on it and clamp a part down from the outside or use through holes in the part and the threads in the plate. Really the main feature is versatility and alignment. All of the above you can somehow do also on a regular table. I have a write up on my webpage why you would want a fixture plate. Check it out … www.jbworxstudio.com/copy-of-switches

Nice Job. I like the way you present and explain the things you do 👍 I made a metric version of the SMW Mod Vise some time ago out of 7075. Added Mitee Bite clamps to it and that really works like a charm. Looking forward to see how you are going to adapt their design to your needs. Regarding the fixture plate, could you possibly further improve the flatness by taking another 0.1mm off, when the plate is actually fixed to the table? And lastly about the shoulder bolts. Did you make them yourself, or are they a purchase item? If so, where do you get them?
@JBWorx Жыл бұрын
Thank you! Yes Mitee Bites are laying on my bench already defiantly will use them. I am undecided on the material. Maybe free machining steel but I will have to get some tooling for that as well. Most likely 7075 as you used as well. I think 0.02mm is a awesome result. To get the best possible flatness A) keep the tool down throughout the entire facing operation no up movement. B) There is some variation in the tape so like you mentioned stewing it down in its final position and facing it again can yield a better result. I think I got lucky. The shoulder bolts (in this case) I bought from McMaster Carr please check out my website the project is uploaded and there are details and also a drawing in the download section … for free lol 😂

What sort of surfacing bit did you use for this. Im struggling to find a solution. On my mill id use a fly cutter but I dont want that spinning at 18,000 RPM :)
@JBWorx10 ай бұрын
Yes a fly cutter is not the right tool for a cnc router because of the imbalance causing vibration and the large diameter will result in insanely high surface speed values. So I have a indexable end mill made by Accusize that you can find on Amazon. However I did turn down the shaft to fit into my collet. I am making a video on 2 different surfacing Tools that I use quite a bit. Also with inserts… stay tuned.
@DL180sx6 ай бұрын
Love the plate. I have downloaded your design and ordered the plate in the dimension shown in the drawing (+2mm for me to face up) I noticed the drawing and in the video here you say 8.8mm hole for a M10 bolt. In my Engineers black book it shows the minor diameter for a Course M10x1.50 being 8.2mm and a fine M10x1.25 being 8.5mm. It looks like you picked a special pitch M10x1.00 which is 8.8mm, is that correct?
@JBWorx6 ай бұрын
This video was made a while back and I scratched my head for a second as I know that the diameter I use for M10 is 8.6mm. Then I remembered that I wanted a loose fit for the thread so that it will not interfere with the locating function of the shoulder bolt. And that worked out great 👍. Hope that makes sense.
@JBWorx6 ай бұрын
Also before you make the plate hole pattern think through in what direction it will go on your machine and if my offset pattern makes sense in that direction. Or if a regular pattern is best for you.
@nickp4793 Жыл бұрын
Could you have drilled the the through holes to rough them out before boring with the end mill? Or does the spindle loose too much torque at the rpm needed to do that?
@JBWorx Жыл бұрын
I did that for the plate on the machine table. My experience is you can drill 6mm diameter however the deeper you go the more unreliable this process becomes. Even 4mm kept me on my toes last time. The bore function and a single flute works so much better and is reliable.
@Festivejelly11 ай бұрын
Given that you machined this elevated on tape how can you be sure that the surfaces are running parallel? Wouldnt you first need to machine flat a surface then put that machined surface on a known flat surface and machine the unmachined surface from there? I didnt see you do that so not sure how you got both the surfaces true to eachother.
@JBWorx11 ай бұрын
They don’t need to be. The resting surface for the part is machined as a set (so holding a piece) at the same time making them perfectly level to each other. This step is done once the vice is machined. And yes you are correct the tape will always allow for some variation in dimension.
@JBWorx11 ай бұрын
Oops I just see this is for the plate not for the vice my bad the former response is not 100% accurate then. So yes you are correct, the tape introduces a variation in the flatness / parallel top to bottom. How much ? Hard to say I did measure the plate using a micrometer and was happy with the result but I don’t remember the variation from top of my head.

Amazing video and content! I notice you have a straight grid pattern on your bed and the new fixture plate has an offset pattern. I'm about to make the bed on my machine and had been planning to go with a straight grid. Could you offer any insight on the advantages/disadvantages to them? Which have you found that you prefer?
@JBWorx Жыл бұрын
For the machine bed itself I like the straight grit pattern. This way you can go with a larger distance to the next hole. For the vice plate I have not found an issue using the alternating pattern as it is closer together. The vice slots will always accommodate for any width material. However one comment (Nick) stated that he dislikes the alternating pattern. So again, for the machine table … go with a straight line.
