    For those wondering why he puts the part diagonally instead of parallel to the back rail, it's for heat reduction. Less time for the wheel to "dwell" on the part means more air over it instead. Lets heat escape. Flood cooling in conjunction makes for a virtually cool part after grinding unless you're really hogging down.

    • @JedLath292
      @JedLath292 4 ปีที่แล้ว +25

      Personally I do this because I can never get (read: am too lazy to get) the part perfectly straight, so all the grinder marks end up sightly wonky and it looks less then great.
      Doing it like this makes it look like I *chose* to have wonky grinder marks...

    • @walter2990
      @walter2990 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Thanks for the enlightenment, Billy C!
      I had never thought about there being any changes from the heat, but it makes sense.
      Now when I use my ancient Butterfly surface grinder, I'll try the misaligned "wonky" method and see if it keeps the work, more acurate.

    • @janettehill8544
      @janettehill8544 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Additional to cooling the part, it also make for a shorter distance to move the table in some context. Though cooling the part is probably more important.

    This ol tony. I can’t thank you enough for your videos. 25 years ago or so, My step dad ( God rest his soul) for years tried to teach me this trade as he was a professional welder and machinist for over 40 years. Yet I was such a stubborn shithead of a teen I refused to listen. I missed out on so much knowledge from the decades of experience he had because of my poor attitude. Now, that I have 4 kids of my own and a successful business, I find myself paying out the ears to fabricate parts and prototypes . I am finally doing a lot of my own and fixing things that break around the house . Finding your channel is helping fill the gap of knowledge and tricks of the trade I missed out on so many years ago. Thank you for that and your sharing of your knowledge. I truly appreciate it.
    Hope you and your family have a wonderful and successful 2020 ! Happy New Years !

  • @forrestaddy9644
    @forrestaddy9644 5 ปีที่แล้ว +20

    Remember, mortal: everything is made of rubber. There is a caveat associated with two piece vises: the table becomes the vise frame - part of the restraint force loop. Tighten the vise, the back jaw block and the fixed jaw tend to spread from the clamping force. This clamping force being above the table's neutral axis imparts a bending force to the table. The table, hunky as it is, is still elastic: it will deflect some small amount in response to the clamping force applied by the two piece vise.
    Short parts, negligible problem but remember proportion. The longer the span, the greater the deflection in response to a given load (quantify by applying the relevant statics equations.) Long parts, if tightly clamped in a two piece vise, may deflect (rainbow) the table enough for it to become stiff in its operation. The deflection takes up the working clearance in the dovetails. The result of this deflection is end bearing between the table and table ways on the saddle. Operation in this mode leads to scrubbing, lube film failure, localized wear, and eventually, galling. Not a good thing.
    Just sayin', a two piece vise is a very handy work holder (for vise-type parts too long for the go-to vise) but it has this one limitation. Use it when you have to but when you do, grip longer work gently.

    • @AttilaAsztalos
      @AttilaAsztalos 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Easily solved, you just bolt another milling table onto the top of the vise before clamping to center and share the load. ...huh? What do you mean you wanted to actually machine that piece of stock underneath there...? Jeez, some folks you just can't please...

    This was such an informative video. It was also more entertaining than a Canadian cutting open a box as fast as he can with a miniature chainsaw. That's a compliment btw, to you and the Canadian.😊

    This is a useful piece of kit and at some point I may get around to making one to go with the clamping set, vice and low profile clamps I already have but none of that really matters as the humour in this video was justification enough for watching. Thank you so much. Your timing is immaculate. Very redolent of Zefrank.

I did heat treat the bases (4140 steel) though but not surface grind them. The jaw plates and movable jaw base were made from 4140 pre-HT. I love watching all your videos and the comedy is is a great interjection. Message me if you would like me to send you pictures of my clamps. Thanks!!
