Mark in the vise

[Alberto-sp]

Hello. I have a vise like this one, and by mistale, I touched it whit the endmill and make a mark in the red point



Now, a small amount of the metal is 0,1 mm aprox but I can´t move the vise foward to that point. I´m thinking using the dremmel with a grindiing stone, but first I´d like to now your opinon about this.

Thank you

Best regards

I would use (get if you don’t have one) a small precision flat ground stone to get rid of the burr that was raised when you touched with the end mill: the burr is what’s interfering with the jaw travel.

Don’t try using a Dremel or similar, gentle is the approach to use.

This will explain PFG Stones, but you can find useable versions at hobbyist prices if you search:

This, a Dremel will make a mess out of this job.

Lay the tone flat over the mark and with light pressure move it back and forth.

When there is little effort to movement it is once again flat and the burr removed.

Thabk you for your answers. I havesome small stones. What grit would you recommend?

The finer the better, I'm thinking elbow grease is going to yield the best result. I wouldn't be scared of the dremel with a polishing wheel and some rouge though.

The stones want to be perfectly flat, you can flatten your stones with a diamond stone. The flatter the better so you don’t remove any material except the raised burr. This is also a dry process, use a water based degreaser to soak the oil out of the stone before you start!

Fixed! A small flat grinding stone worked perfect

Thanks you all for your help
