Clamp a piece of aluminum tig wire between vise and part. It will smash when clamped and take up the thickness difference. Can do several at a time that way
Awesome! I used to calibrate sine plates (tables, bars, etc), and use them in other calibrations, in the Marines and for Lockheed. This brings back great memories from years ago!
I screamed at the screen as loud as I could when I saw you drilling and tapping perpendicular to the bottom of the part but you just wouldn't listen, lol. If you put a piece of copper wire between the floating vise jaw and the parts you would have got away with doing two pieces at once. The copper wire conforms to the parts and distributes the clamping force. A piece of ground wire from some 3 strand house wire works fine. Some people do this when squaring up stock if the surface facing the floating jaw has not been machined yet to insure even clamping. All in all another great video!! EDIT: Guess I should have read the comment below before giving you the wire tip, lol.
Years ago I made a larger set of cam-lock clamps for the milling machine with 1/2" socket head capscrew eccentrics and cold-rolled C1045 rounds for jaws. They are most useful for holding work directly on the mill table in the fashion of a conventional two-piece vise. They can be used with either odd-shaped material or already squared up stock, with or without spacers underneath. The screws just engage nuts in the T-slots. I didn't harden the parts of the clamps. Which reminds me - thanks for showing your Hot Shot oven. Want to know what Santa brought me? Well, it wasn't one of those. . .
@@Dogfather66227 yeah I’m thinking of making a set for the mill table as well. And I am definitely spoiled, my wife is amazing. I wouldn’t even have this channel without her, she believes in me even when I don’t!
@@caseytailfly hmm, yeah I guess that would work. But either way I’d be remaking something and I was ready to put this one to bed. I’ll probably remake them soon though so it works as intended. And yeah, the results are definitely worth it 👍 thanks for watching btw!

Or that piece of Romex laying on the floor behind the lathe.
@@justinsturgeon1 very good call, will keep that in mind for the next time. Thanks for watching btw!

@@JarheadCrayonEater very cool! Thanks for watching🙂
Make 'em over, make 'em over! We love watching the work!
@@stevemarschman3202 hahaha, thanks very much for watching
as always, i am enjoying your work, thanks again! 😀👍

@@yertelt5570 haha thanks for trying at least, must have had my headphones on 😉

What a rollercoaster of a project.
@@pikeyMcBarkin lol, thanks man
Can you make some new movable pieces with an angle to match the angle on the toe clamp bottoms?
And yes grinding is a chore but the results look 👌

couda use that sine plate to make that there angle.. surface finish was incredible
@@motorbreath22 thanks very much for watching!
Awesome tools great
nice work sir!
@@mike9500 thanks!
Perfect timing, I just finished a rotary table fixture plate but have no hardware to clamp stuff to the table besides some screws.
@@ToBeeOrNotToBeHoney nice, I hope these work out for you!
Nice work mate.
@@jm.workshop.q8 thanks very much
Nice job. Thx for the vid.
@@Warped65er thanks very much, and thanks for watching!
I had the same feeling when you clamped them in the vice 😁
@@joell439 *foreboding music…* 😬
Thanks for a great video on a great project. Even adam and this old tony makes mistakes it is all part of being human
@@robertharper8776 yep, it’s all part of learning. Ands thanks very much for watching!
@@hersch_tool you have a great way of working and videoing
@ thanks, I appreciate that
Post the full grinding video so people can watch it to fall asleep lol
lol. Clicked on the vid title to see what’s going on. Text is translated to German and it makes no sense 😅
@@Todestelzer oh that’s weird
