Clamp-on Vise Completed

[@ScoutCrafter]

Ben- I was on the edge of my seat fearing the inevitable "SNAP" of the cast iron arm... You took a hit on 19 and drew a deuce on this one! Awesome!

[@lewiemcneely9143]

That he did!

[@mrbenmall]

I was too. But luckily it was fine.

[@kylekyleson373]

That was a great idea. You can call that piece a Ben Maul, like the log splitter tool.

Very clever Kyle! Good one! 😁👍😁👍

Thanks Kyle!

Nice Ben. Glad it worked. Finished product is a beauty!

[@mrbenmall]

Thanks Mike!

[@nickh2519]

Ingenious, great result. So the threads were seated well enough in the casting to take the pressure after all! I will surely be making one of those tools when i refurb a table vice...

[@mrbenmall]

Thanks Nick!

[@DavidPlass]

And here I was worried you'd mess up the paint job, lol. Great little tool you made!

[@mrbenmall]

Thank you David!

great idea!

Thanks Doug!

[@OldSneelock]

I was the same as John. Perhaps on the next one. There will be one right? You can use your splitting wedge, great idea by the way, and close up the clamp on it just snug. Then tap on the end of the bolt. The clearance in the thread will let the bolt move forward without putting strain on the casting.
After tapping then snug the clamp up again and repeat. 😁😎

[@mrbenmall]

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind next time. :)

[@wadel6]

We learned a new trick! Thanks Ben.

[@mrbenmall]

Thank you Wade!

[@rawbacon]

That was too easy.

[@mrbenmall]

I know, right?

Success! Now, go buy a lottery ticket

Thank you Chuck!

[@joeheilm]

Scoutcrafter said it perfect....i was on the edge of my seat to. Glad it worked out. Cheers

[@mrbenmall]

Thanks Joe!

[@stephenbridges2791]

You did it just about the way I would have. I might have used a single point, but; a point might not have made a good enough flare. I like small vises. I have a jeweler's hand vice I use all the time making model airplanes. You got a good result.

[@mrbenmall]

Thank you Stephen!

[@zipshed]

Great idea...did a fine job! I was kinda waiting on edge because I thought the threads may strip out but it couldnt have been done better!

[@mrbenmall]

I was worried as well. Thanks Wally!

[@timeflysintheshop]

That was a nail biter! Huzzah! I don't know if what I call it is technically correct or not, but I refer to those spinning parts on the end of a threaded shaft on a clamp or vise as the "foot". 👍😁👍😁👍😁

[@mrbenmall]

I think you're right. Someone else called it that too.

[@alexstools]

I snapped one of those doing a similar operation. I'm happy this worked out so well.

[@mrbenmall]

I held my breath. Glad it survived. Thanks Alex
