Another great video, to stop bits chattering in the vice I often stick a big lump of Blu-Tack on them, seems unlikely to work but the added mass really helps.
Blu-Tac, plasticine, clay etc. all work to some extent. The extra mass has an effect but the main thing is damping which is why those soft and "dead" materials work where a solid mass would not.
Rather than clamps that can get in the way, I sometimes use a machine screws and nuts in the slot. If you've got nylon versions available, you can mill straight through them (on purpose of course!). I prefer to mill instrument panels clamped down onto sacrificial MDF. If I've got more than one to do, I'll machine a pocket for it to sit in.
Hi Mr. Foale, I would like to know if you have some trainning regarding suspension/chassi setup for racing motorcycles. If so, can you please share the link of it? If not, do you recommend some one? Thanks for the content, allways learning from you Sir!
Often just machine flat a piece of 2"x4"/2"x6"(or particleboard flooring bolted to it if I need a larger surface) with a lip/edge of some sort to line things up, and bolt flat pieces to be machined to it using some wood screws with screws going through the center in places that will be removed or already have placed and drilled holes and some washers and screws along the edges as needed...
Hello Tony,
Top milling tips there... thank you...
Cheers.

@@MotoChassisByTonyFoale The problem with plasticine is it's tasty..... That's why I only have Blu-Tack left :)
So much brilliance.
So little people watching it.
Tell your friend to watch and get them to tell their friends..... ad infinitum.
Great info, thanks
Fascinating

All good tips.

Since the Covid thing started I have not done any. I would like to do more but I have no plans at the moment. Thanks for asking.
U might get some help by flat wood board the same size under that case to holding tight n easy way for clamping
This is my opinion with all respect
Thanks.
