- This video shows you a variety of techniques on how to clamp and locate thin, small and irregular shaped parts in your vise. It demonstrates creative ways to setup your parallels and stops for those hard to hold parts.
Your video is still useful 5 years after you posted it, thankyou Joe.
I am a self-taught hobby machinist. As I get better, I attempt things that I wouldn't have several years ago. I keep running into new situations, and so I keep coming back to find more solutions. You seem to have a knack for putting out videos that speak to the very problem I need to solve. Glad you did the rewind, it saves time searching.
hi JOE , old machinist here , I was doing the same for many years back the other bonus when you blow your vise clean the parallels are not flying around , it saves a lot of time , for a stop i would use one of those small round magnetic bases on the side of the vise , part set , simply remove magnet
Great input
another big slice of Joe pie :)
no need for springs just use rubber bands across the back jaw and the front, my only issue using rubber bands is that they degrade if you keep using them in a machine with coolant running all over them. no problem though a box of rubber bands is like 2 dollars and it will last a year or so and theres no need for springs or blocks or anything extra in your vice. loved the video other than that. just felt the springs took more to make them work.
Joe is a genius... = to Da Vinci. Im addicted to all his 'how to' machining videos, BRILLIANT!
Spring, genie
Nice tips, Joe.
I just want to say Joe, that you are a breath of fresh air. Your videos are very educational, concise and to the point. You are producing your videos like your are doing a job for hire, no sense just get the job done. Keep up the great work!
Wow Joe I dont know how I have not seen you before. GREAT video, I am now your student. Learned so much in less than 11 mins. Thank you!!
I’ve learnt so much from you Joe keep up the good work.
I enjoy watching your channel. I run a machine shop for a transportation company in Phila. As well as have a home machine shop and have over 40 yrs in the trade. And now and then I see you do something I've done years ago or something I was tought years ago and forgot. And even learn a new technique on some operations as well.
Thanks for another excellent video! I've watched over a 100 in the last week and this one is excellent!
Joe, I wish you lived in Vancouver, i would take you out for a big Steak dinner for the help you offer. You are never too old to learn new things I and I have learned a number of things from you. Thanks.
Nice tips sir! I was a machinist for 11 years here in San Antonio. I went from manufacturing parts for the beverage dispenser industry to oil field equipment, aircraft manufacturing, and medical field. I graduated from Machinist to Tool Maker, then onto Engineering. I enjoy watching these types of videos which take me down memory lane. I always seem to learn something new still. The tip about using the ball with a flat side to hold irregular-shaped parts was pure GENIUS! Times like this make me want to get back into the shop and make more parts. Thanks for sharing your ideas and tips.
A lot of good tips. I smile everytime I think about how little of the work I do is in a vise. Many times my jobs take much longer to setup than to machine but when you are dealing with multi thousand lb components with the only machined surface being the one you have to machine life gets interesting. :-)
Great video! Very clever and useful. Best video on clamping in vise.
You say, "that's all I got" but what a fab little video with loads of little tricks. I've never seen the flat side sphere/cylinder technique and will now use it. Thanks.
Springs! Brilliant! I have lots of springs around the shop. Never thought of using them to keep parallels in the vice. Thanks!
