Dude you can use your own milling machine to true up the vice and the jaws, its good also do a small square relief to clamp small pieces and bolt hard steel on that soft aluminiun jaws
Mine was cheaper and more versatile. Its been a while since I have work on things and thinking about redesigning the mill. I'll just keep thinking about it.
Would love to see videos on repairing tools!
Good job, do you think filling the square tubes with sand/epoxy just to add rigidity?
@@troglodita666 I have thought about it, but since this isnt really a precision machine or CNC, I dont think it id necessary
Was thinking of building somerhing similar using a variable speed router.
Nice work. Well done. You could do with a z axis lock. In fact it is helpful to lock all axis that you are not moving.
I do have a z axis lock, you can see me turn that knob in one clip. I forgot to mention it
Good job. Slow down spindle, you need to cut not grind.
I agree, however it almost seems like the spindle loses too much torque when slowed down with vfd, but I'm still experimenting with it
Appreciate your video.

Yeah that is what I did, but it still lifts too much since it is not a good design. I will probably make or buy a new one
great

@@hampopper3150 pretty cool design, just to a quick peek at it
