WIYB Vice part #2

[@JeffreyVastine]

Stan, you and Tom did some nice work on the vise. It is great seeing everyone working together for a worthy cause and I truly appreciate that along with these videos showing the process unfolding. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

[@Dan.Whiteford]

You guys are so great especially at explaining what needs to be done and why as well as executing these tasks brilliantly. The vice is looking really, really good already. I am surprised just how much it had warped in the heat treatment process and it also shows how important it was for Brad and Adam to leave excess material on the work pieces to enable grinding to take place.

[@ls2005019227]

Thanks Stan for the fantastic video! I really appreciate your measurement, explanation, description of the wheels/hardness, process etc. The vice is looking awesome.

[@PhilsProjects]

Great job guys, Pierre and I were heat treating the Knurling tools yesterday and we should be off to Cape Cod on Monday to deliver the 3 tools to the man himself.

[@pierresgarage2687]

Coming along nicely, the young person getting this tool will be a lucky one... ;)

[@SuperSecretSquirell]

It's oddly therapeutic to see that beautiful shiny spot slowly emerge. Tom, you need to do more grinding videos over on your channel.

[@1OlBull]

Stan, Great series of videos, thanks for sharing your knowledge... It is greatly appreciated by KZbin educated hobby machinists like me. At 6:30 - Should there be some type of internal support in the center groove to prevent distortion when the part is clamped in the vise?

[@geneelliott3230]

Now we novice folks know why surface grinding costs are high. That project will be an honored treasure in the shop of the new owner

[@WAVETUBE84]

Very nice. I've only seen a surface grinder in action twice in my life before. Yeah, you are a hulkingly large man.

[@raincoast2396]

Rubbing your tummy while patting your head, would be the required exercise to practice coordination on those hand wheels! lol How critical is the temperature variation between surfaces, when measuring tolerances? Really enjoying this entire series across the many machinist channels. Thank you all very much. Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving. Cheers.

[@bcbloc02]

Looks great! Getting the fit on the jaw should be interesting so that it is tight but not binding tight. I look forward to that part.

[@jamesspires8096]

Great Job Stan! Is there anyway to get away from your wheel breaking down on a longer part like this? Would it be better if you took less of a cut to maintain the wheel?

[@KnolltopFarms]

Thanks for the show Stan, it was fun seeing you guys working together on the initial grind and of course the punk job on Brad was hilarious! I hope you and the family are doing well and Happy Thanksgiving to you all. Aloha...Chuck.

[@petrocksgarage]

Great video. Awesome to see the vise coming together. I assume that went it left Abom79’s shop it was square, but got out of square after heat treat. Correct? Also, with using a grinder for extended periods of time like this won’t the outer diameter of the grinding wheel decrease over time? Wouldn’t that mess up how level/parallel/square the part is? i.e. if the disk is 6” in diameter at the start of a pass and 5.995 at the end due to wear, won’t the side you started on be lower then the side that you ended on?

[@oxtoolco]

Hey Stan, Nice work. Vise is looking good. Get that sucker shipped. I sure had fun with you and Chuck that day. All the best, Tom

[@axodal]

+oxtoolco Tom, your hand-eye coordination is PHENOMENAL!!! I would challenge you to pat your head and rub your tummy at the same time, but I'm sure you'd run circles around me and everyone else! Thoroughly enjoyed watching you work! Bryan

[@billdlv]

Great job guys looking forward to fitting the jaw.

[@joesilvasr9733]

How do you compensate for the reduction in grinding wheel diameter as you progress through each step or process? Is there a way to zero the grinding height regularly? I am guessing this wheel degrades or reduces in diameter at different rates depending on the hardness of the material being ground?

[@CompEdgeX2013]

Had some bow to it...must have hit the oil first? Sure looks good once it's all ground up!! Colin :-)

[@Bookerb2004]

Holy snotballs the boys are getting together on another COLLAB!

[@Bookerb2004]

The surface on the Mag plate looks hand scraped or is that just the camera angle fricken with my eyes again

[@Za7a7aZ]

Where can I find the cleaning after heat treatment..?

[@johnleake708]

Stan - a question I have had on grinding which yours and Tom's results look great. After you have dressed the wheel and commenced grinding with each pass the wheel gets a little bit smaller (at least that is my assumption), how do you compensate for that gradual reduction in the wheel diameter for precision grinding like that in this video? Thanks for all your videos, they are very informative.

[@ShadonHKW]

+John Leake Hey John, when removing large amounts of material, it is always a factor, but when approaching your final, very light cuts (.0001) are needed to keep the wheel from degrading while you move across the surface.

[@BRO-RU]

Great and painstaking job!

[@awashbowler]

What material was used for the vice? Did you guys use a tool steel like O1 or D2?

[@user990077]

For that matter where did the first lathe come from?

[@stuarthardy4626]

Ask a bodger They turn green wood with a foot powered lathe made from a bit of rope and a sapling found in the woods where they work

[@scottniedentohl6926]

What was the hardness after heat treat? I know you checked it. :)

[@ShadonHKW]

+Scott Niedentohl Hey Scott, I forget the actual number, but it was high 50's, thanks for the view :)

[@scottniedentohl6926]

I grind a lot of that every day. Production work. Form grinding. Steps and slots and angles. I love it! I get to use Trig everyday. :p

[@bigbob1699]

If you don't have a flood coolant , a thin coat of Crisco will cool the part .

[@BasementShopGuy]

Stan she's coming along real nice. Even tho you you let Tom touch it ;)

[@chrisstephens6673]

Hey Stan, Tom sure looks up to you. :>)

[@RyanWeishalla]

Nice work on the vise between Tom and you. Was that cupped grinding wheel one of the ones I sent you?

[@ShadonHKW]

+ILGopher Yes in fact it was:) You can now say that you contributed to the WIYB vice proudly!

[@RyanWeishalla]

Nice to hear. I also made one of the flat backplates for the indicators in the spindle square, so I got to contribute to this nice collaboration effort. Have a good Thanksgiving, Stan.

[@JPGuay]

Great Job !

[@BoffinGrusky]

Nicely done!

[@genecarden780]

As a hobbiest your concepts are beyond me at the start of the video but by the end I feel,I have a pretty good grasp of the concept. To me that is very important. But I still don’t understand how something with a friable cutter is able to hold such close tolerances. I understand that as the leading edge is worn the grinding progresses across the face of the wheel( at least I think I understand this) But it seems that such a o small face would be out of tolerance very quickly Sorry for such a basic and rookie question

[@jeffmoss26]

nice work guys!

[@rchopp]

Very nice..

[@robincox8902]

5thou😮 was it hot? I have a Jones & Shipmen, that depth would make it work too hard, things just start to go out of shape, I see it's only a little it removal at each end . I'll keep watching. 👀

[@LeeRobertsMe]

super cool.

[@Opinionator52]

Excellent finish work Stan,,,, Tom was also present,,, Just kidding,,, Norton is also grateful...... I haven't been of much use for a long time anyway.... ;o) O,,,

[@demonknight7965]

each person who worked on it shoukd have their initials engraved on it.
