    The beauty of these is that they are easily scaleable. Everything from 4mm high, using a 3mm grub screw, up to where the mill table groans in protest.

    I've been in engineering all my life initially in a radiochemical lab producing and repairing small moulds then I moved on to the sales side working for a distributor, supplying tooling, consumables and equipment. I've learnt so much over the years dealing with everything from Railway Wheel turning to Instrument work and special purpose machines. I have to say I've learnt as much detail from your videos as I have over the last 50 years, well done and thanks.

    I have a set of 6 “ Mitutoyo Diamond verniers that I bought in 1970. They still are my go to measuring stick when tolerances allow. I have scribed untold number of lines with them and many times without bluing. So I agree with you that this is OK. If they still work after 50 years and many resharpenings, I say to those who protest “get a life!”

    Thanks Quinn! So glad you chose this project. I'd love to explore a DIY alternative to the expensive commercial mini-clamps from the "usual suspects." Now I have a solid example as a final project or as something to adapt for whatever needs arise.

    Since I converted my mill to CNC I use my big low profile clamps even more regulary I build my ones after this old Tony about 1,5 years ago and they work perfect some projects would have been impossible without them.

    I waited a little bit to watch this. I would not have thought that tools of this type were so handy and useful, but the demonstration at the end proved the point. Fascinating stuff. Many thanks!

    I'd like to place an order for 1,000 cases... what a neat idea Quinn, and I could use those right now! Greg Priest of Priest Tools is a really helpful and nice guy. On my LMS mill, over time I've added every accessory he makes and they really transformed my bench mill into a super functional tool. I can't recommend him or his products enough. For those that haven't heard of him, he does upgrade kits for Precision Matthews, LittleMachineShop, Grizzly, and perhaps others as well.
