I'm a college student part of FSAE and some parts I've had to make required me to do setups like this on a manual mill. It's actually very satisfying getting everying secure in an efficient way.
The load is shared between the two though? If in the case you tightened the bottom one first, then the top, the bottom potentially will come loose or be less clamped?
Cast iron, water soluble will help pull the heat, but I don't have it on this machine & oil makes a mess with only little benefit, the free carbon(graphite) from the iron it's self lubricates.
I cringed a tad but gave him benefits of the doubt and assumed they were an older dinged-up set 😅glad it wasn't just me. Although nowadays I suppose those aren't much money from a harbor frightt😂
Nice set up. Looks ideal for batch runs. All you'd have to do is undo the top clamps and the T nut in the table will stay in place.
When it comes to clamping in the machine shop or woodworking your imagination is endless
Very smart way to use them!
You're putting out cool dad vibes. I wish I had a dad like you.
Good looking setup.

thank you John, always great to open the computer and see you giving your valuable experience to all of us.....Paul in Florida
Great stuff as always
Very nice bit of clamping
Good tip.
Thanks for sharing 👍
Experience is everything
Never thought of that. Great idea
Good idea thank you
That's awesome
Nice
Very clever.
Secured as forever stamps vry great gears machining at hoowies machine shop
We milling
Cool part.
Can you hold it in a vise with the jaws in line with the Y axis.
Like the cutting, just leave the camera running and show the job sped up?

Exactly, so you have to tighten them with that in mind, and snug them up after tightening the other nut down.
Could you double nut them to keep shit in place?
For extra strength use Super Glue also..!
was wondering how you squared up those edges - thanks
Curious why no oil on the bit while cutting? I always oil and keep it oiled for cutting.

He said CNC and didn't say anything bad about it!
Is that two separate studs or a piece of all thread? With my luck I rip the threads off screwing two studs together with a flange nut.
B-7 All-thread grade 5+ if it was a bolt, but not quite grade 8, the grade 8 all thread is too much money.
Clamping directly on to a ground 1-2-3 block?
All the time, we even use them for welding spacers. We have about 100 of them in the shop, some get abused, some are new in the box.
1 2 3 blocks probably shouldn't be used as lockdown blocks.
Cut some scrap blocks.

It looks like a shaper could of done this also. And you could have mounted it more securely.
I think thats wrong
jeez Bubbles you’ve aged
