Community college Metrology instructor chiming in with a pedantic nitpick/GD&T observation: The flatness inspection not only assumed the granite was flat, but also the bottom of the vice is perfectly flat and perfectly parallel to the inspected surface. Legally, a parallelism check was done, not flatness. Without a CMM or a granite with a hole for an indicator, you would need to get the vice up on jacks or shims and start tweaking out the error if you truly wanted to inspect Flatness. It's exercises like these that really drive home the differences in GD&T controls for students. Love your videos and sense of humor, TOT, please feel free to wave me off as one of those crazy quality control road blocks. Also, a Mitutoyo straightness master was around 5k last time I got one for my lab, and that's without a reference block.

Assuming flatness of the plate, or at least a stable reference, wouldn't it be more accurate to keep the plate from moving and find the flatness mathematically? Isn't flatness independent of how canted one way or another it is, just whether it could in principle be tilted to be flat- i.e. it lies In plane. If the table was flat but not level, would still work, lack of flatness would ruin everything. Weird chicken and egg problem right there, I guess that's what the 3 plate lapping thing was for? If you took multiple measurements all over the piece then you could fit some kind of linear model to that, and then do a good was of fit measure(R^2 or something) to get the linearity of the surface, and hence its flatness.

Oh I bought a vice off eBay, £50, 9" when I was really just starting out. What that thing needed was something next to it for scale, like a house... Being 6ft 9" I can lift it, about the height of the back of a van, once. And it makes the performance difference when in the van, down hill it seems quicker, breaks caused a large bang if applied hard although the van struggles to stop a few football fields further than it used to, hills also seem to be considerably longer. I worked out that the reason for the vans breaking issues was that the vice's mass was affecting space time. The point of this rant, don't buy things on eBay with out knowing the actual size of it. In this case 9" meant a vice that was about 2 and a half foot long, and able to cause cold fusion if dropped.

I naively assumed that they were simply bolted to a plate but it turned out that they were manufactured as a trio of vices with a common base. We had to use a fork-lift to get it into the boot of my old Jag and I was relieved to get home without needing new springs. At my end, I had to use an engine hoist to get the gang of vices out of the boot and into the workshop. It should fit on my mill, but would make the table ridiculously heavy. I've been advised to cut the thing up and make it into three 6" vices - but that seems a shame. I simply cleaned it up and put it in a corner of the workshop until I can find a use for it. I wondered why no-one else bid on a set of three machine vices for £50. Now I understand...

TOT - I hope everything is OK. Please come back to us!

Missing this channel, hope this respite is temporary but if not, thank you for an amazing run from a viewer who appreciates the humor, quality, and effort required to make each video.

Tony every time you upload is like a mini Christmas for me, thank you.

Thanks Tony. To be honest, as someone working on much smaller machines than yours (essentially high end hobby kit), I think the 1 thou would not be an issue for most non-professionals - especially given we suffer the same W.I.F.E issues. For a lot of people, often 5-10 thou tolerance is actually way beyond what they need (not want, need) for 99% of surfaces

My Father was an Aerospace Machinist and I have some of his old tools. I know in general what some of them are but your video explains more than I was able to learn from my Father. Strangely, learning about his tools makes me feel closer to knowing my Father

Tony, Wish you all the best. Your content is beloved half for the technical savvy, half for the humor and half for the editing

This would've been the perfect opportunity to sneak in a homemade surface gauge to test this thing. We didn't forget about the surface gauge build promise, Tony. We didn't forget :p

So I’ve been re-watching all of TOT’s videos and it has come to the end. I’m a 50 hr a week machinist and not a hobby machinist. This is where I come to enjoy some quality conversations and some amazing karate chop skills as well. I really hope the TOT family is doing ok after their loss and completely understand the break. I’m a subscriber for the long run. Through thick chips and thin chips. I hope to see something again but won’t be disappointed if there isn’t. At least we had a good few years of AMAZING content and the memories from along the way. Take care TOT and friends.

You made it to a million!!! Congratulations This Old Tony!!! Don't ever change.

Impossible to believe a million of you enjoy hanging out with some guy in his garage... but more on this later. On a somber note, and the reason I ain't been around these parts lately: lost my father-in-law. wife lost her dad. kids lost their grandpop. He was a great guy who checked out way too young and left a big hole. Hate to be a downer, so keeping it short. Please bear with us as my family tries to get used to the new normal; fact of the matter, he was a significant part of me being able to sneak away and play with you folks. Will be back soon... and we'll pick this party back up in style. xo, OldTony"

Just a quick one. When checking for perpendicularity, rather than using a ball bearing or fitting the "bumper" to the base, just turn the main rod over so that the ball end is down, as that is what it's there for.

Not entirely, when you're machining to .001" (about .0254mm exactly) this vice could give some very slight errors, but if you're machining to .0001 (.00254mm) then it would be rubbish. For a milling machine like TOT has, he isn't likely to be chasing tenths or microns, but if you have an actual real CNC mill and you're making parts as a business, this thing is very likely to be garbage and isn't nearly good enough for the work, if you need high precision that is.
