Could attach a few of those extra magnets to the bottom of your vice, then put a piece of steel on your work table/bench to keep the vice from sliding around like @ 8:40. That way, the vice isn't fastened down permanently and you can still move it around as needed.

7:36 Already clicked on the like button, but JB Weld saved my ass. Drove a Dodge Shadow 2.2L for years that had the thermostat housing on the head partly made of JB Weld thanks to an electrolytically welded in broken bolt. Only way it would come out was grinding the corner of the housing down to remove half the remaining bolt laterally, and I still had to use a hammer and punch to knock the remnant off the remaining half-threads... new bolt, some oil, a cardboard and duct tape dam, some JB, curing time, and dress it nice with a file. Lasted until I sold it several years later, and that's saying something for a rallycross car.

JB Weld is in my carry pack when I ride dirt bikes. Fixed a hole in my water pump housing in a pinch. Still holding strong.

On the sensor, if it was on for the whole diameter of the flywheel (except the magnet) you could have just selected rising edge instead of falling edge.

[@robotcantina8957]

Please watch the video again. Starting at 4:20. The problem is the sensor is being triggered twice. Once before the magnet and once after the magnet. You cannot have two pulses or two triggers right next to each other on the same revolution.

you know that vise would be alot more useful bolted down…lol with all your skill with fabrication its funny to see things like the cars inside side pillar falling fall and the vise not bolted down, i more than get it though im the same way..
