Thanks for putting this together Tom. I'll share it and the links on my channel for all those who asked me about it.

There is a reason for the grinding relief to be a radius. You do not want sharp internal corners on parts that will be heat treated! This creates a stress point, that is prone to Crack during heat treat.

On the relief of the non-movable jaw... Leave the radius. Sharp corners in hardened tool steels is a "no-no". It introduces a sharp stress point and could be prone to cracking over time.

On the vise the first rectangle cut you remodeled can be drilled to make that radius. You know right under the hard jaw side of the vise. Then you can get a full radius and not risk cracking during heat treat. The reliefs for the soft jaw or movable should be cut with a radius end mill. But the hard jaw side needs the radius do to clamping force being applied over a lifetime.

I vulenteered for buying the screw... Really wanted to take Adams part but hey...Abom needs to learn...lol

Tom, nice model. I haven't downloaded it yet and started playing with it. The best suggestion that I can give you for making you models more parametrically (is that a word) correct is to make modifications to your design to flex your constraints and see what they do. What I am saying is to make your first sketch, then start adding additional features. Next go back and change a dimension or two in the primary sketch. Do the children react the way you expected? Or did they fail all together? This will make you define your constraints better when you start. I know it sounds basic, but I find it helps. Fusion 360 is much more forgiving than the software that I learned on and you can finish a sketch with less than ideal constrains. And that all works fine if you don't have to move or change things later. Example, if you want a circle in the middle of a block, you can dimension from two sides to the center of the circle. Then if you modify the block, the circle stays in the same absolute place. If you create two construction likes from corner to corner and draw the circle at the intersection then when the original block is modified the circle will move with the parent model. And thanks again for the model. I am just starting to learn Fusion 360 so this will be a big help for me looking at other models. R.J.

I had made 1 of these and I had put a slot down the side of the base the same width as your pin holes. that way you can clamp it from the side if you need to

Merci pour les plans :) Thank you for your plans.

Looks awesome man. I need to crack open my 360 and give it a try. Next time do your sketch plane from the front face. Extrude the square cut through all. Then extrude the grind relief up to the fixed jaw from front to back. That would eliminate the added chamfer. On the reliefs for the clamp, could you draw one then mirror it about a construction line?

Great drawing I was looking for a baseline to work from to model a Shars vise as a fixture for our Taig Mill We have two sizes in the Makerspace and having them modeled as fixtures will help on collision avoidance. Our Makerspace is Maui Makers which is a non-profit and our Mill is on loan

Is that hemispherical washer going to be greased? If so, maybe add a recess of some kind to accommodate a rubber cap to keep the grease and chips separate (would also help keep the washer from coming out or moving around excessively during setup)? If not, then... I guess never mind. I think the grind relief would be best with a radius in there, it'll keep the vise material from developing cracks over the years from vibration under load. It being on the inside of that clamping face means it's going to see a LOT of stress. Also, what's the rationale for making the pin holder head spherical? Cylindrical(cylinder coaxial with the pin) seems like it'd be easier to make and a little stronger to boot. Could chamfer the end of the pin and the hole in the pin holder, would make changing position a bit easier. Ticks and trips? Sorry, never used fusion... Great work though!

Tom, can your Fusion export SketchUp files? I can make drawings from the PDFs, but would prefer to not add so many errors!

All the links above just say This channel does not exist. just letting you know good job all the guys..:)
