Machining a Multi Vice end stop

#machining #millingmachine #3dprinting #cad #engineering
Join me in this Video as I take my Cad designed part to reality. After 3D printing the part and seeing it would work I decided to machine the part from steel and once and for all have a dedicated End stop for the milling machine Vice.

It would have been easier if you had made a thread on both sides of the fixed jaw of the vice. Fix a piece of flat steel with a hole for a piece of round steel. The flat steel has a hole for the screw, one for the stop bar and a thread to clamp the bar. With this kind of stop you can also stop parts that are not or only slightly above the vice without the danger of milling into the stop. If you use a long screw with two nuts, the workpieces to be machined can also extend beyond the vice.This is what the stops looked like in our workshop.

You really love your surface grinder

The way that sitting saw snapped - I saw it coming and I felt it in my gut.

Nice one Joe, great video As always well done.

Whoa! when did you start with all the CAD? more to the point when did that surface grinder turn up, AND another thing slip gauges? I wish you would wait till I sign off on the spending. Great to watch another great video Joe. I found myself saying the same as you when the slitting saw went west.

Nice job on the mill stop. I've broken a few slitting saws that way.. Happens to alot of us im sure! Take care...cya in the next one!!!

Nice work Joe, and nicely designed stop, I can see a long life of useful work in its future. Cheers!

Looks great.

Nice job. Parting off a rectangular component in the lathe. Glad it worked out. Cheers Tony

Hi Joe. Lovely idea, expertly machined. Shame about the slitting saw. But, by breaking it we saw how it’s possible to part a square piece in a lathe. Well done. 👏👏👍😀

Pop a flat or groove on the stop bar to prevent damage from the grub screws. When using this type of corner stop make sure your parts are dead square, or you will get errors.

Nice looking vice stop but wondering how did you get your logo on the part?

HI Joe,

That is not the correct way to use a reamer.
