Hello all,

Here are a few pictures of my new milling vise. It is very much like the Sherline milling vise, only bigger. The idea behind it is so I can make pocket jaws to hold irregular shaped, multi-operation parts. The jaws can be flipped over to make more pockets. When I make a fresh set of jaws, I drill and ream two .125 holes for dowel pins. After pinning the jaws, I machine them together to be a matched set. This makes reloading the jaws extremely simple, and accurate. I like to machine a tramming hole on the stationary jaw. I also make jaws out of cast acrylic. it's cheaper, easier, quicker, and works just about as well.
Thank's for looking!

Great work!

Doing this these kinds of projects are very rewording, and it's nice to know that others can appreciate them as well.

Thank you all for your kind words.
