Two Piece Machine Vise Build

This one's been a long time coming: 2 piece vise for the milling machine and CNC router!
You'll never believe how many pieces!! (two)

This ol tony. I can’t thank you enough for your videos. 25 years ago or so, My step dad ( God rest his soul) for years tried to teach me this trade as he was a professional welder and machinist for over 40 years. Yet I was such a stubborn shithead of a teen I refused to listen. I missed out on so much knowledge from the decades of experience he had because of my poor attitude. Now, that I have 4 kids of my own and a successful business, I find myself paying out the ears to fabricate parts and prototypes . I am finally doing a lot of my own and fixing things that break around the house . Finding your channel is helping fill the gap of knowledge and tricks of the trade I missed out on so many years ago. Thank you for that and your sharing of your knowledge. I truly appreciate it. Hope you and your family have a wonderful and successful 2020 ! Happy New Years ! -New Loyal Subscriber

[@billyc2572]

For those wondering why he puts the part diagonally instead of parallel to the back rail, it's for heat reduction. Less time for the wheel to "dwell" on the part means more air over it instead. Lets heat escape. Flood cooling in conjunction makes for a virtually cool part after grinding unless you're really hogging down.

[@JedLath292]

Personally I do this because I can never get (read: am too lazy to get) the part perfectly straight, so all the grinder marks end up sightly wonky and it looks less then great. Doing it like this makes it look like I *chose* to have wonky grinder marks...

[@walter2990]

Thanks for the enlightenment, Billy C! I had never thought about there being any changes from the heat, but it makes sense. Now when I use my ancient Butterfly surface grinder, I'll try the misaligned "wonky" method and see if it keeps the work, more acurate.

[@janettehill8544]

Additional to cooling the part, it also make for a shorter distance to move the table in some context. Though cooling the part is probably more important.

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

Me too.

[@forrestaddy9644]

Remember, mortal: everything is made of rubber. There is a caveat associated with two piece vises: the table becomes the vise frame - part of the restraint force loop. Tighten the vise, the back jaw block and the fixed jaw tend to spread from the clamping force. This clamping force being above the table's neutral axis imparts a bending force to the table. The table, hunky as it is, is still elastic: it will deflect some small amount in response to the clamping force applied by the two piece vise. Short parts, negligible problem but remember proportion. The longer the span, the greater the deflection in response to a given load (quantify by applying the relevant statics equations.) Long parts, if tightly clamped in a two piece vise, may deflect (rainbow) the table enough for it to become stiff in its operation. The deflection takes up the working clearance in the dovetails. The result of this deflection is end bearing between the table and table ways on the saddle. Operation in this mode leads to scrubbing, lube film failure, localized wear, and eventually, galling. Not a good thing. Just sayin', a two piece vise is a very handy work holder (for vise-type parts too long for the go-to vise) but it has this one limitation. Use it when you have to but when you do, grip longer work gently.

[@AttilaAsztalos]

Easily solved, you just bolt another milling table onto the top of the vise before clamping to center and share the load. ...huh? What do you mean you wanted to actually machine that piece of stock underneath there...? Jeez, some folks you just can't please...

Nice build, it will come in handy.

[@matthewray6008]

Hey This Old Tony, you have lovely nails. Also, could you mill a few bars that fit in the T slots and translate your clamping pressure across those bars?

[@cracklingvoice]

A set of parallel bars on the bottom of each half would be interesting. If staggered across the t-slots there wouldn't be a minimum clamping distance to worry about. If I wanted to try this kind of project myself, I think I would do a set of two screws on each rail for vertical clamping force. The fixed jaw and movable jaw carrier (?) would have to be a little bit wider and deeper for sufficient space, but that's not too terrible to work out. That and a handle like that on a standard vise, with the captive handle on the mainscrew. Even if it's only 4"/100mm long, 1/8"/3mm of travel wouldn't need that much torque to get a solid grip on a workpiece.

I think collaborations with other channels such as the recent one with the french guy cooking can help a lot. I found this channel just from youtube recommendations and I was mostly watching videos about CNC when I was building my own.

Not many people have access to a 1000 lb mill or metal lathe (including me). But anyone can appreciate the humor and insight and the editing. And anyone who makes anything requiring any type of precision can unintentionally learn something useful while being entertained. But a lot of ToT's humor is surely lost to viewers in other english speaking countries, even. To anyone who knows english as a second language, I imagine a ToT video could be downright painful. The most popular KZbinrs gain views from 13-25 yr old demographic, globally. A lot of the most popular "make/instructional" channels don't even have any narration. But they cobble together disposable tools/toys using a glue gun. Or they include knives. Seems like everyone, everywhere likes knives and swords, especially 13 yr olds. Even ToT's son likes showrds.

Love your humor, been awhile since I have used a manual mill, these days I program 3 and 4 axis mills. Love the vids and look forward to them.

A very nice build. I love these precise vises. I have a precision machinist vise and its just nice to know that nothing will move on my CNC.

How does the surface grinder remain accurate with a wheel that is continuously shrinking in diameter?

[@krisbarlow6489]

The way you describe machinist going to the mfg offices is the most accurate description I've heard yet!

A two piece vise was the second thing I ever made on my first mill which was a small grisly with zilch vertical clearance. 7 inches of Z from the spindle to the table before putting a tool in. Those were the days. The one I built used two long piece of all thread on each side for the clamping so none of the force went through the table. I still use it on the bridgeport for holding odd over-sized parts.
