MAKING SWIVEL VISE JAWS

[@ohhpaul7364]

the difference between you and the others is your style wishes to teach and the others just wish to show. It makes a difference. thanks for the videos.

[@warrenwise8127]

Exactly! And, it gives a more accurate time that it takes to do these things, safe work practices, and HOW to do it. I don't have a lot of tooling or experience, so by the time I work out how to do what needs to be done with what I have and then do it takes probably four times as long as someone with the gear and experience, I am not phased, I am having the time of my life doing it.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much

Lyle, PLEASE do not worry about your videos being too long. For those people with SHORT ATTENTION SPAN, they can always fast forward. I watch fully to the end as everything is so interesting. Keep up the good work. Regards from Australia.

Thank you for putting all the effort into your videos tubalcain. I would love to see case hardening

[@waynespyker5731]

Could you Rockwell test the case hardening, showing the hardness and different thickness depths? A test block added to your basket could be used. What if the first surface tested was surface ground .005" then retested, the second side ground .010" then tested, the third ground .025" then tested, the fourth .050", the fifth .100", the sixth .250" giving 7 difference hardnesses. I feel most don't realize the results of case hardened. Can anyone guess the differences hardnesses?

[@dougoddy8283]

I prefer your longer videos. They help me learn how to do machining.

[@Duckfarmer27]

Lyle - Use the format that works for you - can't argue with success. I for one would like to see a video on case hardening as it is something I have never done so it would up the education level. Kepp up the good work.

[@chuckmayerchak3071]

Your videos put sunshine in my day. I love the detail. Not only do you show the project but more important to me as a beginner you teach the techniques needed for the project and for future work. At 72 I learn something new from every videos of yours I have watched. Keep up the great work!!!!

Thanks again. I just watched one of your very old videos where you chided me for wanting a nice car instead of buying a Bridgeport mill. You were right, btw.

[@mrpete222]

[@kensherwin4544]

You would have still had the mill.

[@SuperBowser87]

Your right I’ll never need it or make it. The only precision machine I own is a hammer. The reason I’ve watched your videos since your earliest days on KZbin is to get a glimpse of what my grandfather did for a living. He was a machinist for the L&N railroad. He worked in the roundhouse here in Louisville KY. That was his first job and only job he ever had. Almost 50 years working for the old reliable. Also I’m sure your dad would be very proud of your KZbin career. Followed in the old mans footsteps. That’s got to make a father very happy!

[@G1951-w1y]

I flipped the head of my Bridgeport 180 degrees for transportation, lowered the center of gravity as I was about to tow it on a trailer through downtown Austin, TX. Once set up at home, it has never been tilted. Trammed often, but never tilted. I remember it took me hours the first time.

My first instinct would be to drill and ream a hole, and then cut the piece in half to end up with two jaws and two identical half-circles. Reamer makes it a known precise dimension, so turning that middle pin wouldn't be complicated either.

[@fall22123]

Yep, that would be another way to do it. It just goes to show there's many ways to do things. Could use a boring head too. But then you would have to saw them in half.

Lyle, I'm sure I'm not the only one who references your videos for the fact that you explain stuff. Taking that extra time from layout to setup & tool paths makes your content that much better. Having your other series' with your rants and loose talking may be more comedy at times, but they are also educational. Thank you very much. Stay safe and well :)

[@mrpete222]

Thanks

[@1889michaelcraig]

I also agree. The longer videos explain it better for me as well. Thanks Mr Pete.

[@t.d.mich.7064]

Hey Pete! Coming up with your method of making the 1/2"hole is an apparent problem that would leave most scratching their heads. Yours is a good solution. When I first saw the issue, I immediately thought, put both jaws back to back with a properly sized full length spacer between them, then simply drill, ream and c-bore the hole. Pull out of the vise, drop a 1/2" pin in the hole, and c- clamp the pieces together, remove the pin, and c- bore the opposite side. Another way to solve the problem if one lacks a milling machine. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talent!

[@brianlittle3452]

Could make one jaw serrated and the other smooth to prevent nicking. (Have the best of both worlds and save some work at the same time.)

Good idea, never thought of it

Could the serrations be done using a “V” shaped mill cutter? Could save aligning the mill head. Thanks for the videos.

yes, but you would need a much higher speed as you effectively reducing the diameter of the cutter to near zero. (it is done that way on small engraving machines)

[@mutasimaldory]

I made one of these (roughly similar, of course!) for woodworking a few years ago, to clamp leg or chair legs before drilling.. I just used a large hardwood dowel between two matching 1/3 drilled holes, in removable vise jaws. This is a much more elegant design! 👍

[@bobvines00]

Lyle, this is yet another of the projects you share that I will have to make for myself! In fact, I'll probably make 3-4 of them to fit different size vises, including a large one _without_ serrations for my (blacksmith) post vise to avoid marks on the red hot metal.

Saw your video the other week on doing the flat knurling, have had my Klopp 550 Shaper for 5 years or so, thought it was time I used it, so I knurled some scrap steel, I set my table auto feed to the maximum, and adjusted my depth of cut to suit, 20 thou gave the best results. and once you set up and work out the depth of cut etc it's FAST. Thanks for that video Mr Pete, and all of your others as well. Cheers from Australia.

[@TheSiriusProject]

Hi Mr. Pete. In answer to your question up front about what we prefer to see in your videos: I prefer to see the more detail you provide in your videos than a super short overview of a project. However I also find that I don’t feel I have enough time at one sitting to watch a video of more than 15 mins. So, please do 10-12 minute parts. Thanks!!

[@Siskiyous6]

Great tool, I will be making one. I picture V grooves to help with tapered round objects like the lathe center you showed, and magnets in the two sides at the pivot location to help hold it together during set up. Do not pander to the masses sir, leave a completed body of work that lives up to the high quality products you have created up to this point.

[@marcseclecticstuff9497]

What a great little project. I'm often having to clamp on material that's out of square while I'm squaring it up on the mill so I'd get some use out of them. So much so I'll make a second set to use at work. As a bonus, nice little project for the shaper! Cold blue them and keep them with the obligatory 52 pc. clamping set hanging off the side of the mill.

[@dondotson4604]

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

This is certainly a nice project. Maybe you should get a Grizzly tilting table to go on your mill. Then you would not have to tilt the head. Thanks for the video.

You are a professional teacher and you are WAY better qualified then any of us out her to say how long your "class" is. I have seen other videos made by amateurs that leave out more information them they put in. - You just keep up the way you think is best. You da man. Speaking of knowing why I do something different then you,,,,, I use a center drill to cut serrations when I need them ,,,,No tilt of the head here,,,and I even do have a couple of chamfering end mills somewhere around here.

[@mrpete222]

Thank you very much. I just looked at it again.. In my opinion it is an OK shot. What makes it artsy?? I would like to know so I could do more of it

[@DigitalVideoFromOz]

It’s because you’re working on the Bridgeport in the background, while you are framed by the other tool to the right in the foreground. It’s sort of a shot within a shot, showing you working in part of your shop, in context with the rest of it. We’ve all seen shots of the US Capitol in the background framed by a flowering cherry tree branch overhanging it in the foreground. It’s sort of like that. If that makes sense? It is just a shot that I rarely see in any KZbin videos, And I thought “well good for you” :-) I get a kick out of watching you trying new things as you develop your own unique video style As you shoot, edit, and speak :-)
