You still in Lexington?

Its a copy of the smw mod vise, you want one.

Should be able to download from a360.co/2uU1HIn

​@@daleksw the link does not work anymore, can you reupload this please? Thanks

@@LukasKupec Sorry, moved my stuff to a Fusion team instead of my original personal account. I think this link should work. Let me know. a360.co/3v997qj

This works, thanks!

I bought the machine new. Tormach basically delivered it to the factory door then I had it picked up and shipped via Montreal, Canada and Southampton, UK, then 500 miles north by road. Accent is west central Scotland (think Billy Connolly). To get the machine to the UK cost £560 in shipping fees, then £1250 in tax/duty. Shipping weight was 260kg.

@@daleksw Yeah, I suspected Scottland. Was in Fort William working for a week. Fantastic country. Had one English seminair that was Called "the importence off not being brittish", since then I try not to guess were People are from. Even Though I am pretty shure :) Shipping was much more resionable than I expected, thank you for your reply. :)

Good to hear of another one in the UK! Mitee bite stuff in the UK is from www.wixroyd.com/en/page/mitee-bite-clamping-products-from-wixroyd It's good kit, but very expensive.

Fusion 360 has the option to 'repeat final pass'. This is intended to remove stock left because of tool deflection. Single point thread mills like this one are inevitably quite long and thin and you're cutting with just the very end, so it's worth doing this to get consistent results.

The name derives from a very low pressure final finish pass where the tool doesn't deflect (i.e. "springs back") compared to the aggressive cutting paths which definitely flexes the shaft of the end mill. Even big tools deflect some (all a matter of how precise you want your surface to be)

Those are Mitee Bite talon grips. The 0.5" size. The centre part is fixed, but the clamping is provided from the two outer parts in much the same way as the SMW. The bolts that hold the top part down are M10 countersunk and the 'holes' they go into are slotted, so that as the countersink tightens down, it pushes the vise jaw forward. Not a bad idea and works fine for 1st op with the talon grips. Clamping isn't as strong as a traditional vise though, so a bit marginal when used with flat, non-marking jaws for 2nd op. Big advantage over the SMW is mounting direct tot he table, so saving the need for a fixture plate that costs money and z-height! This is still my favourite way of clamping large parts that won't go in my Tormach 4" vise. For smaller work, I now tend to use one - or 2 - of these fluxworkholding.com/.

Rocol Multisol is the only one I've ever tried. seems to work fine for me.

No problem. a360.co/3v997qj The original link must have stopped working when I moved everything to Fusion Teams.

I found that on eBay. There are dozens of setters like it and they all seem to be really very good indeed.

Yes, I made the vise. I've been looking for ages to find a way of mounting several small parts on the table at once and eventually designed my own. I still need to spend some time using it to see if it's any good or not, but I may release the plans in future. It's not that difficult to be honest.

David Loomes how are you finding the vice. Has it performed as you wanted and did you ever share the plans.

@@daleksw Hay man, coming back to it later, you got the plans by any chance ? Thnx
