"Shallow guided tap wrench..." That got me thinking. Perhaps a wrench which clamps on to the tap just above the flutes, leaving the shank to slide into a tubular guide in the machine spindle. I need to mull that over for a while.
Good evening Mark, I assume you have all the holiday decorations up and you got permission to go play in the shop? It’s good to see you back online and doing another excellent project. Keep them coming my friend.
Interesting... Maybe I'm not playing this youtube game the right way. Like i stop the mid roll advertisements because I think they are annoying but that also limits the money RUclips can make with my videos. Maybe I need to allow one midroll and see what happens.
Hi Winky, Vise stops are very useful but take time to set up and remove when no longer needed. I’d like to send you photos of my design that attaches to the vise and folds completely out of the way when no longer needed. I need your email to do so if you don’t mind sharing it. Thanks for all you do to educate us.
Thanks, photos coming soon. My vise is a 6 inch Kurt. The stop pivots off the back of the rear jaw mount. You’ll understand how it works when you see the photos.
Mark what kind of Tig wire are you using and what is the max amperage of your machine? My machine is a Miller EconoTig max 130 amp on Tig with remote foot pedal. I seem to be having trouble getting enough heat with the foot pedal. I've checked the pedal resister with a meter and it seems to be working okay. i took a break from using it for Tig for about 25 years so I don't know if it is me or the machine or wire I am using. I done miles and miles of Tig welding as in my younger days I was a professional welder. Therefore I am not a beginner to the process.
I think ER70S-6. My Vevor welder is 205 and the YESwelder is 250 amp. I have foot pedal for the YES but never use it. Mostly because I get tired of dragging the pedal around but also because I haven't adequately trained my brain to use it. I tend to forget about my foot and end up using too many amps. However, I will say this (and you might be aware of this). Whatever I set the amps to on my YES welder is the highest amp achievable with the foot pedal. Is your welder set for high amperage when you use the pedal?
Why wouldn't you use the same hardware on the 2 pieces to reduce having to grab different tools to set it up? I am new to this and trying to learn. Please don't hate for the question.
Simple but effective,Mark.Thank you.
Nice design winky, great video, keep'um coming.
Your work always comes out very nice, thanks for sharing some tips along the way!!
Thanks, It's always fun to think about new ways to make things better.
Thanks a LOT--like I needed another project. Nicely done.
I know what you mean! Thanks 🙂

Cheers! Thanks for watching.
Great job mark thanks for sharing your ideas.
You're welcome!
Very interesting. Nice work sir.

I like the way you're thinking!
Looks good, works good. Always good when we can improve things in the shop.
Dave.
Thanks Dave!
Thanks for the video. Nice work!
Glad you liked it! Thanks
A neat a versatile solution, expertly crafted. Well done. 👏👏👍😀
Thank you very much!
Simple, but totally effective. Just like a home run, cheers Mark, and thanks for the vid!
Thanks!
Making things is good. Making things better is... better :)
Good evening Mark,
I assume you have all the holiday decorations up and you got permission to go play in the shop?
It’s good to see you back online and doing another excellent project.
Keep them coming my friend.
Great Content. You set a standard for others to follow.
Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it.
Very nice mate, that one is going on my to do list.
Cool
Thank you for sharing.👍
You're welcome
Neat design!
Thanks!
Thank you for the video for me i wish I learnt about this before I retied machine
Thanks Peter, your welcome.
Love your videos, I dont get why you only have 45K subs, should be 10x that

I'd use pins as the stop points. Blades are to big. Small pins can be changeable thickness at jaws. Your slides will work for adjusting.
Pins work well. I made one that mounted to the vise s few years ago. This one is a little quicker to set up at least compared to the one I made.
nice work
Thanks
You could twist the original stop end against the rear jaw and put a packer between the thinner part and the moving jaw.
Very true, thanks
Hi Winky,
Vise stops are very useful but take time to set up and remove when no longer needed.

Winkysworkshop@GMX.com I've had some on the vise also. I like this better but you might have a better idea.
Thanks, photos coming soon. My vise is a 6 inch Kurt. The stop pivots off the back of the rear jaw mount. You’ll understand how it works when you see the photos.
If you agree, can we see pictures of your design?

The same steel? Not sure what you're asking
@@WinkysWorkshop Same size, thread pitch, head. So that you only need 1 tool to adjust both pieces.
