Exceptional demonstration. I now have uses for the vice I have had for a couple of years. Like you said my idea was to clamp it to the table like many others do but the idea of using it as a set up tool is more than just creative it opens up another complete set of uses for the vice. Thanks for bringing us along.
heh my thoughts exactly. But once I figured it out, it makes perfect sense and now I use it all the time, usually clamped in my main vise. Definitely a good tool to have.
I have the same style of vice on your same mill and honestly I could not live without it ! I also use it a lot on my magnetic chuck so that I haven't go t to bolt it down every time and can change it's positione durign the crafting session
Yes I'd like one of those magnetic plates. Seems super useful for switching out vises. And this toolmakers vise... same here. I use it pretty much on every job now, usually clamped into my main vise.
My comment is a bit of a late entry but I fully agree with all the plus points you make about these precision vises. I have both 70mm and a 90 mm toolmakers vises and they are the most versatile work holding mechanism in the workshop. I use them both on the milling machine,on the shaper and sometimes bolt them to a lathe faceplate.... they're also realy useful for surface plate measuring and marking out tasks.
Hi Howard, thanks for the comment... leave another one anytime! And definitely, the lathe faceplate seems another good spot for them... if a little scary!
@@Ducati900SS your channel name just brought back memories of a trip I made in '79 . I was pootling down an Autostrada on my 90S at about 85 when a Hailwòod replica came along side and gave a litle wave, opened his throttle and zoomed off and the in the distance I heard him change up. Good old days when no one really cared about speed limits. Funny what brings back memories that you haven't thought of for decades.
@@chrisstephens6673 hehe nice. I only had a little 50cc Kreidler back then, but I dreamed of having a 900SS.I never thought it would actually happen this far along in life!
@@Ducati900SS when I was at college in the early 70's the 90S came out and owning one was only a dream, it being the best and one of the most expensive European bikes you could get, no insult to your favourite just a fact😉, and a few years later someone I knew got bored with his and offered it to me at a bargain price and I still have it. He bought a Laverda as a replacement and that got written off a few months later when a friend of his had a test ride, and if that doesn't teach us a valuable lesson.......
@@chrisstephens6673 I lived in Germany back then and BMWs were everywhere. I liked the R90S and the big R100RT, which was built like a car. Top bike for me then would have been the MV 750 America and the 900SS second. But these days I'd insert a Laverda 750 SFC in there as well. All unobtainable now of course.
I've got a little 25mm and a pair of 50mm toolmaker vices. There great, doing vice in vice is the easiest way to do compound cuts. Stefan Gotteswinter has some interesting vids on it👍👌🇦🇺
Definitely - Those smaller versions of this vise make a lot more sense when used like this. I'll keep an eye out for a little one. I've watched a few of Stefan's vids but not that one yet. His stuff is all very advanced compared with what I'm up to!
I just wish I'd started with the videos and got into the lathe and mill a lot earlier during the Ducati restoration. There's so much that never got on camera! But I'm pleased to please you now :)
HI Bill. If you're in NZ, look up 'Toolmakers Vice' on Trademe or on the local MyTools website.. is the same seller on both. Still has free shipping but the sale is not one. The sale was 10% off that price so it's not a huge difference. Mine is the 72mm x 98mm version. The next size up is a lot more expensive.
That sounds like a great deal. The best thing I've been using it for is just like I hinted at in this video - put it in my main vise and clamp things I wouldn't have been able to hold otherwise - Here are some Shorts where I'm using it: ruclips.net/user/shortsWqNecZkwcl0 ruclips.net/user/shortsrbuA_1lfFtw ruclips.net/user/shortsX2d099kZslU ruclips.net/user/shortsI4UR45cfmek ruclips.net/user/shorts4g8liobOkm0 The point is - Keep your main vise where it is and use the new one as an extension. Let me know how you get on.
I bought one at a bin store for $1.00 I imagine most (if not all) the shoppers there had no idea what it was. It is a HFS brand, 3 inch vise, SKU: 16907
Well - this description was fantastic…… hence …… I’ve subscribed and look forward to devouring the rest of you channel content. 👍😎👍
Hey thanks Joel. Appreciate the comment very much! (but beware of some long and boring vids on my channel. I'm trying to improve things as I go along)

Hi Terry, thanks for the comments.. appreciate it!
Thank you for explaining this style of vice. I've always wondered what the fuss was about!

Wow!
What an incredibly useful tool!
I love it! 😊

Even more useful when/if you get a surface grinder .
Yes, that makes good sense.

Thank you that was very good.
Thanks Rodney!
One tool can do more accurately jobs. Well done.
I thought you're DTI was broken at first as you rolled it along the vise haha.
hah yes it does look like that
Machining content from a channel named 'Ducati 900SS'. Where have you been all my life?
I just wish I'd started with the videos and got into the lathe and mill a lot earlier during the Ducati restoration. There's so much that never got on camera! But I'm pleased to please you now :)
Where did you buy it?

The sale was 10% off that price so it's not a huge difference. Mine is the 72mm x 98mm version. The next size up is a lot more expensive.
I just bought one in an 80% off sale.
Now trying to see what the hell to do with it 😂

@@Ducati900SS Legend, thank you so much. Should be delivered tomorrow, and I'll be in the workshop over Easter.
Will update..!
