Two sided milling of spindle tram blocks on my PrintNC

Nice! Are those 3D printed softjaws? If so, have you had much success with them?

Thank you! Yes they are. I originally printed them as a temporary placeholder so I could mill some from aluminium/steel but I've been very impressed with their holding power. The PETG has a small amount of flex so they bite quite nicely around the corners of the part. Very easy to replace as they wear out over time as well. Worth trying and seeing what you think.

Hi Andrew, the clamps look very handy, did you design them yourself?

[@andrewpc1234]

They work really well but are not my design. Check out Saunders Machine Works hobby vise.

Thanks for the tip! It’s just what my setup needs
