You go right ahead and make as many vise videos as you like. I’ll watch every single one. I’m so glad to still have you around after your covid attack. Our plumber here in the UK contracted covid and was not able to work for 6 weeks - one hell of a problem for a self employed man. Take care! Mike
I'm glad you did this on the South Bend without the DRO. Many of us are still learning to do things "old school" and every time you teach us something new. I like the use of the wiggler in this video. These are techniques you can always fall back on even if you have a DRO. Learning different ways to set up and lay out projects is priceless. You'll always have that information available if you need it and it weighs nothing to carry around:-)
That drill press vice is very similar to one that I made as a teenager. It was made with a hacksaw, file and drill press. That is how I learned the proper use of a file. Skills that I still use over 50 years later. I actually still have the vice and every once in a while I use it because it is the right configuration for the job at hand. Thanks for sharing.
For reasons that defy explanation I enjoy just about any machining video you publish. In other words, Mr. Pete22 can not make a bad video even if he tries. I hope you don't try. Redundancy is a major part of the learning process. So, make as many drill press vise videos as you want. It may take some time but I'll eventually get it. KOKO!
I still have my vice from school, and it was very well made by someone. (that was me, I made it) I say that every time I look at it. One of my favorite things is to hand it to someone and have them say "That's nice, where did you get that?" and finish by telling them about my shop teacher.
O good, another Drill press vise video. Each project demonstrates different techniques.I have been needing a vise to hold rifle barrels when I remove them from their actions. This is a good basis for building that.
Nice project and well done of cource. Need for the prototype? Not really, I think, but a good preparation for the video recording. Teaching video making is another skill in Mr Pete's toolbox. Bringing all needed tools, drillbits, reamer etc up to the mill makes the video editing a lot faster. Doing duplicate work, AND thinking off camera gives less dead time. Some tubers start the camera, do some work, and run around the shop searching for things. How interesting is that? Crap. A nice, compact 20 minute, video that is watched on the spot. Maraton videos are most often put on hold, and some are forgotten.
This video is spot in for my intro to machining class. The boys examined the prototype. Your operations are so similar to our project, but yet different enough that the boys will benefit from the variations. I have already forwarded this video to them. I intend to complete the prototype project and employ it on one of the small drill presses in my woodshop. Your prototype project has already served duplicate purposes! The oversized moveable jaw holes are a bit too wiggly. This is the purpose and advantage to making a prototype. The finished project benefits from correcting errors or making improvements.
Great to see that Frankenmill finally making chips ! Hopefully you can get the rods and dial indicator setup in the trough to show how that works like a jig borer.
When I was in high school we made small vises that ran on round stock like this but ours had removable jaws and we had to thread the screw on the lathe and they had acme threads. We also ground all the flat faces on the surface grinder. A guy came to our teacher looking for a student to work at his shop . I was chosen and I still work there today. That was 39 years ago. Soon after I graduated I was running a Monarch 20" x 120" lathe making overhead crane parts such as 8" x 36" long axles for overhead cranes.
When I was in seventh grade, We were doing zink casting. We had all sorts of things we could cast. I did something along with a quarter and a nickel. A female classmate tried to tell on me after the poring. My shop teacher played with a small pile of sand that wasn't part of my casting and then walked away.
I agree with Mike Barton (below) Lyle have you seen AbomAdventures Adam Booth's other channel today of a look at Bethlehem Steel in PA? As a kid, my Dad drove thru there in the 1960s. He was a ham and knew some guy at the mill. We stopped for a look-see. All I really remember was the sound. You could hear it in your BONES!!! this was in the early 1960s. I was there when they charged a Bessemer flask. OH MY it was like 3 Forth of July's all at once. A typical example of ABOM videography. If you had not seen I thought you might like -Grey Pilgrim Thank you sir. I was too old (I'm 70) to be you're student back in the day but I wish I was. By extension, you did teach my son...You sir have taught me so so much... Thank you
The old So. Bend mill really brings back memories of my 1st year teaching with a brand new model. Your vise is a great project for beginner & old pro alike. Thanks for the memories.
Nice project, I appreciate the refresher on the basics of layout and thinking through the build steps! It would be neat to see if that design could support a few jaw inserts for drilling round stock.
If you don't have a vice for your bench top drill press, the vice that Lyle is making made to 1/2 scale will work a treat. If you drill and ream two holes in the top of the fixed jaw and one hole in the movable jaw for slip fit dowel pins you can then hold thin round work to be drilled. The vice then works as a clock makers vice. A wiggler set is really helpful in general shop work. The tiny edge finder attachment will get into slots and confined places where a regular edge finder won't. A good layout line and the wiggler needle point will easily get within 0.004" (1/10mm) of the exact desired position. Within 0.002" (1/20mm) with care and a magnifying glass. Cheers from NC?USA
love these little projects Mr. Pete. But, I must say you've cost me a lot of money over the years. I just took delivery yesterday on a brand new knee mill! Thanks for all the lessons/please keep up the good work.
Mr. Pete gave us fair warning when he published a video for making a cone-type center punch. The warning was (paraphrased): "All you need to make this center punch that you can buy for $15 is $5,000 of machinery, tooling, and materials!"
I keep a couple of drill gauges always handy. I just wish I could to the same thing with the smaller taps as it get pretty hard to see the writing. I have partially solved this by leaving them in the original marked plastic boxes.
Rather than the locking pliers, I've used a piece of paper folded over a couple of times on the edges of parts to clamp then when they're "close", Seems to work pretty good. Not my idea, something I picked up somewhere. Keep putting out the videos. Thanks
Great project for us Mr. Pete! I like your project videos very much. It takes me back to the good old days in HighSchool shop. Did you get any good epitaph suggestions???
The damage to my lumbar spine makes it difficult to crank the knee up, and down on my Bridgeport. i installed a power feed on it 18 years ago. They are cheap enough to buy from Vevor. You deserve one on all your vertical mills. In addition to drill pres work your vice would be a handy tool to use as a small floating bench.
They are still picking sweet corn, snap beans and digging carrots, potatoes, and onions up north Mr. Pete. I’d send you a selection, but my rural mail carrier has already been by today. 😂
Wish you'd link the referenced videos in the description as you have so many it's difficult to try to sift through to find the specific video that matches the title card. 👍👍
my friend that very usable tool you made there I know I don't have all that machine that you got but I would like to try to do it I only got a tabletop press drill and some handy tools but I really like that vise
Mr Pete Do you use a reamer because its more accurate than a drill bit ? Thank you. You are a great teacher I learn soooo much from you And im so gland your feeling better 😊
Some Mr. Pete associated projects Tap Follower #359-361, Wiggler #362-365. If you make the tap follower consider making a 2nd one for taps that don't have a hole in the top.
Back in 1976 when I was serving my apprenticeship with a machinist who was a jig bore specialist, he had a very similar vice the only difference was it had a differential lead screw that allowed it to be opened and closed very quickly. Could this vice be modified with a similar kind of lead screw?
If your sweet corn is like your Indiana neighbor's corn, then enjoy it while you can. Some years ago we bought some corn from a roadside. Later, we had a campfire going and laid the corn out around the fire, still in the husk, to roast. Even without salt and butter that was some of the best damn corn I''ve ever eaten. By the way, I have a Logan 820 like yours, with a quick change toolpost (like yours). Do you have any problems with the tools being too tall? I think I'm going to take .100 off the bottom of the tool holders.
Just a thought Lyle, seeing as you need a drill vice like a hole in the head, why make 2. The test one and the final one. You are so experianced at making things, so why not just make one and film it from the start ? You will now have 2 vices that you will never use and on your demise will just get thrown away. You time is precious now, so don't waste it by making a prototype and a finished product. Great video. Regards from Australia.
But Dave, in the absence of drawings, the prototype is (for me at least) a sign of where we're going, what each piece is for, what Lyle's talking about. As for the work being thrown away, I for one would join a long queue to get my hands on a piece of Lyle's handiwork.
Why make still another vise or two at 80 years old? Because he wants to, and that's all the reason he needs. It also brings back memories of some shop students who were outstanding in the shop and others who were (or should have been) out standing in the hall.
“End Mill” refers to the type of milling cutter being used. They’re made of high speed steel (HSS) or carbide with two, three, or four flutes and securely clamped in a collet. They cut on the “end” or side. Hence the name “end mill”. Whew; sorry for the long explanation. I hope this helps.
You go right ahead and make as many vise videos as you like. I’ll watch every single one. I’m so glad to still have you around after your covid attack. Our plumber here in the UK contracted covid and was not able to work for 6 weeks - one hell of a problem for a self employed man. Take care! Mike
Thanks
For an older guy. You still got it. Enjoyed every second of this video.
😄
This will be a great weekend project. Thanks and have a great weekend.
👍👍
Doesn't matter what you do, I'll follow you!
I'm overjoyed to see you enjoying showtime again! You're a legend

Great machining today. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.
Great. Your channel taught me so much. Thanks

Another interesting video Mr. Pete. I find your projects so interesting I never miss watching them.
Many thanks!
I'm gonna build this one for my collection. Great job.
Have fun!

you cant have enought vises mrpete!
liked the video.
cheers ben.

that is a great project to build i do know some tradesmen would have trouble with this too

Geckoproductions4128, you will soon realize that a knee mill and an engine lathe are the only things that separate us from the dinosaurs.

The warning was (paraphrased):
"All you need to make this center punch that you can buy for $15 is $5,000 of machinery, tooling, and materials!"
Great little project to teach accuracy and how to do it. Glad you are feeling better, and I can't wait for your next video.
This is great. I need something like this and actually intend to make one
👍👍
Great stuff as always Mr. Pete!
Gratitude
I keep a couple of drill gauges always handy. I just wish I could to the same thing with the smaller taps as it get pretty hard to see the writing. I have partially solved this by leaving them in the original marked plastic boxes.
That's a great idea!
No problem with another vise video, more than one way to skin el gato!
Rather than the locking pliers, I've used a piece of paper folded over a couple of times on the edges of parts to clamp then when they're "close", Seems to work pretty good. Not my idea, something I picked up somewhere. Keep putting out the videos. Thanks
Thank you Mr Pete. That looks like it would be pretty handy for holding small parts on a surface grinder with a magnetic chunk.
Yes
Great project for us Mr. Pete! I like your project videos very much. It takes me back to the good old days in HighSchool shop. Did you get any good epitaph suggestions???
Good
I really appreciate sir, from Kurdistan region of iraq.

Thank you very much

my friend that very usable tool you made there I know I don't have all that machine that you got but I would like to try to do it I only got a tabletop press drill and some handy tools but I really like that vise
Give it a try with hand tools
Mr Pete Do you use a reamer because its more accurate than a drill bit ?
Thank you. You are a great teacher I learn soooo much from you
And im so gland your feeling better 😊
Yes
Made one of those or one very similar back in high school shop class.
👍
You need to show some of the projets you use to have your student make
I like your vise videos -
Thanks again

I guess, with his experince .....he could live with 2 holes in his head !!! Lol !
How about bringing Henry into the shop and guiding him on making one for himself?

"A man has as many masters as he has vices." St. Augustine. .......but maybe he meant vises too!
I thought that 7/8” model looked light duty to me . Lol
I don't think too many vices is thing
LOTS of vice addicts about. Blab away!
Vises are better than Vices!
True
What ever chips you’re making I’m watching. It could be potato chips and I’m turning in
