POTD- PROJECT OF THE DAY: What Did You Make In Your Shop Today?

[wachuko]

Got the 4 Flute, 90 Degrees Profile Angle carbide end mill and made the cut missing…

So now the vise milling work is done… will take it apart and paint…

On to finishing the base/mount…



Edit: To avoid a post... this one I painted hammered green... I will use it on the bigger drill press. I will make a second one that I will paint to match the Walter-Turner drill press...

@wachuko, if you dimensioned the jaws and clamp block base "right", you should be able to use the vise in the vertical position as well! All it takes is to bore the holes with the same distance from edge to center on the jaws for the left, right, and back edges. With mine, it's super rigid in vertical. You can make another v-notch running centered along the jaws and another parallel cut to make the position more useful still.

Sweet! Will do that as well. Thank you!

This week i ended up doing the job for a friend of mine after he got the first part to test fit. Here are pictures.

I give up...
What is it??

 

[Brento]

@finsruskw they are little decor inserts for after market rims on a Jeep Wrangler. They are normally plastic christmas tree clips but they fall out and then the rim looks bad. Customer wanted 10 of them. There is 9 there bc i sent him one already to test fit.

@Brento nice job.. That clausing, it has the ends for the table.. are they on both sides? is that an 8530?
I like the turret stop on the SB. nice find. When doing prod work, that can come in handy. I have thought about replacing my single point stop...

 

[Brento]

@woodchucker yea it is an 8530. The close ins are on both sides. For coolant in the future. I got the turret stop with the Lathe. It takes a bit to set up but it works. I also got where i can part off good as well. Nice and slow.

It seems to be easier for me to follow your conversations if you use the 'quote' or 'reply' rather than the @NAME.
Thanks
