Hello Quinn. Holding material in the mill vise with a piece of round stock against the moving jaw and dialling in a block in the 4 jaw chuck using a dead and live centre are things I do all the time. However, you are the first person on youtube who I have seen do this. The mill vise trick works well for very heavy cuts as well. I have a video were I take a .250" deep by 3" wide pass in 4140. The work was held with a piece of round brass between the part and the moving jaw. The set up was accurate and rock solid. I think when my two sons are old enough to start using my equipment I will have them watch your videos first. Thanks, Ken

Nice job again, Quinn. But for your viewers I want to share something. Any error introduced during setup for facing will affect consistency of thickness dimensions between larger surfaces more than between smaller surfaces. The angular error would be the same, but obviously any angular error is larger when it is over a longer distance. Thus, I think the second of the largest faces should be cut after two opposing smaller faces are made parallel. If the second of the largest surfaces is cut while the other large face is not able to sit firmly on both parallels, it will surely result in the two largest faces NOT being parallel. Therefore, the third cut should be with the one large milled face against the fixed jaw and the smaller milled face on the parallels (using a rod between the moving jaw and the workpiece, of course). This will give two opposing parallel faces which can then be clamped in the vise while one large flat face is completely down on the parallels, thus resulting in the two largest faces being truly parallel. This is often the most critical parallelism desired in a rectangular solid.

I stumbled upon your videos when I fell asleep and KZfaq automatically played one of yours following binge watching This Old Tony. How fortuitous that was. I set about binge watching yours and was amazed at how many things you explained were either new to me or now made sense, such was your amazing clarity of teaching. I'd go as far as saying your series are actually clearer than Tony's and I'm pretty sure that would be a source of great pride to you given the height of that bar. I shall now embark on a journey of epic proportions by binge watching ALL your videos from day one and hopefully contribute further by commenting on some. Bravo Quinn...bravo! 💙💛

Just because I _see_ something that other sculptors don't see doesn't make either of us wrong or right!" On the other hand: With some plunge milling, I now know how to make a solid metal match box (lid to follow)! lol

FWIW - regarding steel rods for use in the vice. If you can get your hands on a scrap laser printer or copier, I found that the rollers are usually stainless steel and seem to be high precision. They are about 5mm in dia. and 24mm in length. In their scavenged state the have a foam coating - most of which is easily removed with a razor knife and then I go at it with acetone. I generally just use them as stock for misc. projects, but after watching this video I can see they could have a more elegant use.

Thanks for another great video! Have a couple of questions: On the second face, you chose to put the extruded side up and the sawed cut on the parallels. Did you have a reason for doing this or does it not matter so much at this stage? I would have leaned towards setting the extruded side down. Just wondering about your thought process. Also, do you like dead blow hammers for tapping down parts onto the parallels? They have less of a tendency to mar the work surface. Thanks again!

Great tutorial! I wish you had posted it a couple of days ago! I'm currently making that phone holder out of 20x40 mm aluminium (notice the proper spelling! :-o ) and I "squared" my stock by first milling the top, then the bottom... So I'm moving over to the dead tree carcass guys... But really, I don''t have a proper mill and I don't really need that half a thou precision on the phone holder. I think... I also found that the band saw removes material _a lot_ quicker than my "mill" (an old drill press with a milling table). If you're lucky(?) I'll post a video on my making this in a while.

Hi Quinn, I'm struggeling to think of the best way to square up a slice of 2" round brass bar . I have an raw circle and two non parallel bandsaw cut sides. Lots of KZfaqrs squaring up a almost square block, but nothing about round bar , it must be a common problem, Round bar is much more common than inch thick square stock. Thinking I might skim one face in the lathe first and start from there. Would welcome your opinion. Great channel.
