  How can a centrally mounted 70mm diameter cam be 22mm above the surface above the carrier. That's 35mm????

  Yup, cleaning the oil from the vise removes the problem of it coming out of the jaws. I liked the tear down of the vise and now I won't be afraid of tearing down mine 🙂

  @yvonnebotha6643Ай бұрын

  On my version of the vise, the collar at the back is threaded and you can unwind it to remove the collar. I'm guessing it can be used to adjust the slop. But you did solve one problem that had me a bit stumped (thus my watching your clip) ... how to remove the top/sliding jaw with a bloody grub screw in the middle hole! Thus I thank you! 🍻😃👍

• 
  @yvonnebotha6643Ай бұрын

  I also realised that the same grub screw altered the pressure on the ball locking mechanism and I could now alter the vertical movement of the moving jaw when clamping. I also cleaned up (stoning) a few of the surfaces that had bad marks, reassembled, greased and knocked the jaws into position. Nice! 👍 Ultimately, I re-machined my jig base block! WOW it fixed error on the plate attached to the block (a jig surface) from 0.40 mm error to .04 mm error! You supplied1 x small clue that allowed me to advance my project bigly! Thanks from Australia.

  A good speed is 500 for steel and 750 for aluminum, us a little cutting fluid on the cutting bit, dry cut is going to clog the bit, you need different bit for finish cutting, its not the spindle speed it is the feed rate,

  Nice work! Scale length has nothing to do with your saddle width and string spacing just as a tip from a pro builder... scale length is the length of your scale from the nut to the saddles and is important for things like string tension and intonation which is the accuracy of your notes the further away you get from the nut.... string spacing is dependent on your pickup pole spacing (if you arent using bar pickups etc) as your strings need to align above them (for the most part) there are two universal spacings... F space (Fender and Floyd Rose guitars) which I believe is 50mm for both neck and bridge. The other is Gibson spacing which is 50 and 53 mm so Gibsons and the TOM bridge go wide and narrow up at the nut which is skinnier than Fender and Floyd rose guitars... The nut width is also key to to your string spacing... you dont want strings too close or too far apart. Hope that helps :)

  You can actually drill right up to the chuck so long as you peck drill and clear the swarf everytime. Also when you get to the end of the travel on the compound, set your depth, on the cross slide, wind the compound all the way back, move the carriage to the end of your cut, note the cross slide depth and continue cutting your taper.

  A more appropriate title might've been "Let's clean a good portion of a vise". No indicator, bluing, testing for parallelism/mismatched heights, the list goes on. You may have gotten the cream of the cheap chinese milling vice crop, and that's a good thing. But when all is said and done, if it clamps the part, holds it, and you're happy with the results, that's really what counts.

  When te radius is the same all along the fretboard, the result will be (I would say) that the edge of the fretboard is lower on the side of the body than on the headstock side. That because the fretboard is wider on the body side. Does this make sense?

  You did nothing to correct your issue. 1. The main cause of issues come at the mating surfaces- the angle on the carriage, the half ball it contacts, and then the pocket inside the moveable jaw. Go look at Kurt vise. You'll see very quickly that those surfaces are machined and possibly ground or polished on more expensive vise while these import vise simply cast them. All three surfaces are just cast and then they are what they are. Spend some time with a file, pencil grinder, soft abrasive wheel, and some polishing compound to get these surfaces as smooth as possible. Clean out the old grease and put new stuff in. Whole new vise. 2. Get out a pencil grinder and soft abrasive wheel and hit everything. Twice. Clearly part of their cost savings is no manual deburring. Unfortunately those burrs can often fall off and end up where they shouldn't. Every edge on that vise is razor sharp out of the box. EDIT- These vise certainly offer value to the hobby machinist.. heck, extremely good value. But be ready to put in the time to make them useable.. you'll make better parts because of it. I probably put 2-3 hours into mine when it was brand new so it takes time..

  Very happy with it indeed. Mine came with the powerfeed and DRO and I must admit I dont use the powerfeed that often but when I do it does give a cleaner finish. Its a very solid machine though I manage to pretty much cut anything on it, im glad I went with this over the warco machines as I think the R8 system is better and easier to use. I think at some point ill do a CNC conversion on it but for now its great as it is. @@leeceeworkshop

  Thank you very much for sharing your design. I guess may work fine to carve angled headstock necks, that’s why I’m interested in give it a try. Just please let me ask you two questions: 1- You probably need to somewhat clamp the router carriage in the rails while turning the neck carriage to make the cuts, right? How do you do that. 2- About the router bit, do you get better results using round profile ones? Which one did you use in your tests? Thanks again for your effort!

• 
  @leeceeworkshop8 ай бұрын

  Hi. 1. No clamping necessary. Just the weight of the router (stuck to the carriage with double sided tape) and a hand on the carriage is all the support I use. 2. Always use a flat profile router bit. A flat edge on a radius follows the curve perfectly. A rounded bit will just cut hundreds of grooves when moved on a radius.
