I make Prismatic Aluminium Jaws for the Bench Vice - Holding with Magnets
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ส.ค. 2020
- It always annoyed me that my prismatic aluminium jaws are not a pair, they are two of the same ones instead of mirrored ones. So I need to use one of the jaws upside down to be able to us the prismatic shaped properly. Enough is enough I said and made myslf a new pair. I made them the same measurements as the old ones. I only changed the magnets, I used four smaller ones instead of two big ones, just because I couldn't find any bigger ones. I used high-strenght aluminium 7075, it's almost as strong as steel. The Jaws turned out very nice and they'll be a huge help from now on in the shop.
I hope you like my work and the video.

My biggest regret in life is binging all the My Mechanics videos in one day and now having to hangout like a sucker for new ones.
I feel your pain 😂 😂 😂
What you can do is checking out all his previous videos a in row from the beginning. When you're done, you'll probably have become a machinist too…
If you're missing his videos, he'll MAKE A NEW ONE!
so relatable. i just end up rewatching them over and over
Same
It’s pretty cool to notice when he’s using items that he’s restored in the past.
Those are great tools made with craftsmanship, not like most of the junk you get today that is designed to break after certain amount of time, so you will buy new product when the old breaks.
Guest staring Oil Can and Arbor Press!
I was just coming to the comments to say exactly this.
It is precisely an exponential pleasure when we use more and more tools that we have found, dismantled, restored. Each tool has a new story and we have a workshop like no other.
@@lhknag And the vice at the end, if I'm not mistaken
I think that even if you were making a knife, you'd remove the sharp edges. :)
I remember removing the sharp edges on a big 45° chamfer ;-)
comedy gold!
Mark Wilder I was thinking the same thing
He would just keep chamfering the edge all the way down to a single atom of metal. It'd be the sharpest knife in existence.
@@mymechanicsinsights Even on the Beverly Shear you had to send the blades out to someone else for sharpening so that you wouldn't be tempted. :)

Spilled my coffee for this comment
Only not as hard to bite through lol
Clean machinery, clean tools, clean workplace, makes me feel comfortable.
Like ASMR but better!
I really like to see the way some tools from older projects are being used in order to make the newer projects easier.
round things square, square things round. That's the machinist way
I'm so glad to see restored instruments actually getting used instead of gathering dust at shelves.
Or being scraped out!
@@kevinnobody3052 Terrible!
I'd like to see him take that stainless steel 8-Ball to the pool hall!
I think it's amazing what they hide in those metal pieces.
I've found all kinds of cool stuff hidden, I just have to remove all the superflous material to reveal them.
Well said!
"I finally have a real PAIR"
-well you have always had.
You mean his balls?
Fallon Turner yes Fallon. He means his balls.
It's "I finally *grew* a real PAIR"
Love seeing that restored arbor press being useful in the workshop.
you produce the most beautiful work. i wish I knew you personally so I could shake your hand and be able to express how mentally satisfying your videos are. the entire process you present to us is genuine therapy. i truly appreciate you.
my mechanics must be either a master watchmaker, or car prototype builder - perfect solid fit every time, no rattle, no wobbling.... PERFECT....... Chapeau !!!! 🎩
my mechanic's wife: 'Hi, I bought new cutlery'
mm: urge to remove sharp edges, rising...
wife: 'I cant cut veggies with a spoon!'
mm: 'it is now, a shiny spoon!'
Shiny is life.
That explains why he delegated the task of sharpening the Beverly Shear blades to a friend.
@@Face2theScr33n It all comes back
I need a workshop like yours. Fully stocked including a 'my mechanics' clone of course!!
If you know how to use the machinery, it is more fun doing the work yourself.
I really miss having access to a lathe and a mill...
@@HepauDK Oh I totally agree, but my skills in this area would make you laugh. Or cry.
@@turbo.panther Well, with patience all can be learnt.
@@ivanf.8489 No argument from me on that, but it is not patience that is lacking in this case. I have approx ten million other interests including restoring antique and vintage manual typewriters. Learning how to become another 'my mechanics' is a fair way down on my 'to do' list; given enough time it might rise to the top and become a burning ambition.
You can make a new one
Dude's like "I made a rough sketch" and it's detailed schematics.
As an engineer myself I can confirm that is a pretty rough sketch compared to a final drawing
What i like is to see the important steps, dont wasting time with long boring videos. Thanks, good Job
Did you have to make sure that you put the magnets into the first jaw in one orientation, and the opposite orientation for the second jaw, so they would attract instead of repel when you hold the jaws together back to back?
Yes exactly! And it was really complicated, I double checked each one at least 10 times before pressing in.
😂 MAN that would be an awful mistake to make
Then again, I’m not sure if it would cause THAT big of an issue. Would still stick to the vice. And the magnets aren’t strong enough to repel a vise
@@michaelesposito2629 The jaws will stick to the vise regardless of how the magnets are oriented within the jaws. But for the jaws to stick to each other when they're removed from the vice,, those magnets have to be oriented correctly... one jaw with "north" facing up, one jaw with "south" up.
@@mymechanicsinsights I can attest to this actually being a real PITA! I work with neodymium magnets a lot and it's surprisingly easy to mess up. I found that using a marker to mark the faces that stick helps a lot to keep them oriented properly while working with them.
Good day mate. Thanks for the brilliant content👍, however,
Filing those neodymium magnets was a bad idea.
Without the protective nickel coating they will quickly oxidise.
Perhaps try some enamel paint to protect the exposed surface.
And good luck removing the magnet dust from the file :)))
The coating of neodymium magnet is there to prevent corodation. Not a very good idea to remove it, neodymium need to be sealed.
Yes exactly. The nickel plating protects the neodymium alloy from moisture in the air.
@@COBARHORSE1 Epoxy coating also exists.
Normally I can't question any of his techniques, but when he grabbed the file I cringed!
"My mechanics" is the new word for excellency.
Brilliant craftsmanship as always
All that perfection deserves a beer! 🍺Now how does My Mechanics open a cold beer? Does he make a new can opener? 🤔
Mill the cap away 😅
@@mymechanicsinsights legend
But with NO sharp edges, be advised
Everytime I learn new things from your video...thanks 😊
Beautiful work sir 👍👍
No music, no frills, no gimmick. Just solid craftsmanship.
Nice job.
There is something oddly captivating about these videos.
Turn "chaos" into "order"
exactly
xD yup. I watched this whole video, and didn't even know what he was making until he shows the parts in use.
Yes, but they are very difficult to jack-off to.
@@doovie101 Speak for yourself.
When you usually eat while TH-cam plays something, but this time you forgot to eat at all
The perfection and methodical way that this guy works at is awesome. He’s on a totally different level to most of us.
I’m a perfectionist and my restorations have to be just right or I consider them a failure. Therefore watching most other restoration channels leaves me feeling uneasy. With Meine Meckaniker, I can relax and would watch a 4 hour restoration video if he made them that long; they’re that satisfying to watch.
May he never outgrow his hobby. Thank you sir, for your inspiring work. 🙏🇦🇺
Superb
Don't have any more words to describe my appreciation
I saw these used in the German screwdriver restoration and I had hoped you would post a video for their production. Everything you do has both function and form in harmony. Truly impressive work, thank you.
You can see that the ones from the screwdriver restoration were the old ones, as one is fixed upside down.
my mechanics insights I did not catch that! I’ll have to be more observant next time.
And we continue to appreciate your work with admiration 👍🏻
Perfection as always !!
Awesome work i have not seen before like this type of work
Beautiful milling machine. Thx for sharing
Love seeing the chips fly.
Wonderful to watch!
Well done
Awesome job
Really looking good ,Yours work 👍
Amazing milling machine. Must be a joy to use.
Very well done...!!
When you get around to it - I would love to see how you clean up your equipment/shop after a project. I'm always curious about that part.
WOW is that ever cool. Nicely done!
Beautiful
I worked in a machine shop for two years while finishing school and although I did not choose that trade as my career I am glad I can do some machine work if I need to. Great to watch a skilled machinist at work.
For the magnets it would have been better to err on the side of them sunk in than sticking out. They would still work even if they did not contact the vice.
That and removing the protective candy coated shell of a neodymium magnet is not a great idea.
@@GilliamVespa
Yep, They will oxidize and disintegrate in short time. Could try to recoat with an epoxy paint but I don't know how successful it would be. Depending on the quality of the magnet, the nickel coating does detach with knocks on the edges, several of my smaller neodymium magnets have started to "fall apart" in this way, the edges were too sharp.
Soo relaxing
Nice job
Estava mesmo precisando dessa ideia
Mui obgda
Well done mate!
So many sharp edges to remove! Heaven!
와~~정말 대단하십니다.
모든 영상 정말 감사히 보고있습니다.
항상 건강하세요
super cool build!
The magnet idea is genius. Thank you for sharing another superb video!
Great job again 👏 👍 👌
Amazing! Thanks!
I’m amazed by your works they are so precise so from now on I’m going to call you Mr precision
Mesmerizing
Amazing work, made for and with restored tools, 100% efficient!!!
Super Hand Work
That 7075 looks lovely to work with.
Aluminium in general is a wonderful material to work with. Turning, milling, welding, you name it. :)
I like how you use your restored arbour as well ...
Also love the attention to detail in your work 👌
Just finished watching all videos from your main channel, now here i am for some more.
21 seconds in and he’s already delivering the goods 😆
Very nice, MM! Great video!
This channel is the best tech ASMR I know.
Great job thanks
Great Job.
excelente trabajo.... cool again
Nice work 👍😉
Absolutely brilliant
Super ! All the best ,
They came out very nice. Superb execution. I appreciate the work you did. Thanks for sharing.
I love watching your videos, please do make more 👍👍👍
These videos are the real cure for the OCD.
Sehr gut gemacht.
Beautiful work, as always!
I love it when i see that you using tools that you restored some day.
It's kind of a easteregg for your long time followers.
Loved the video.Very useful jaws indeed
Beautiful job as always. I watch other channels which are also good but your work is the cleanest and most precise.
Great work! Thanks for sharing.
I love it when you say ... I MAKE NEW ONES!!!
I just love this, it gave me goosebumps! How can anyone dislike this? Thank you very much for this video!
This is absolutely amazing work
i just love it when my mechanics make new parts 🥰🥰
So satisfying! Great work as usual!
Thank you very much Ryan :-)
It's really cool seeing you use tools you have restore previously.
The perfect video to watch in the morning......very satisfying!, now I’m inspired and ready to go to work!!
Thanks......💯👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I would really like to see workshop tour video(s) with descriptions of the capabilities of all the machines, tools, equipment etc. Opening up the drawers, everything, finding out when and how he obtained it, if any if it has an interesting provenance etc. Also a look at the stash he keeps in stock.
Another wonderful video, thank you for your content!
Pieces of art, thanks for sharing your knowledge, talents, skills, and your video.!.!.!.
WELL DONE, VERRY NICE. REGARDS.
Nicely done sir! Watching milling videos is so satisfying!
This is why I continue to watch. You really do have a talent with metal. Well done...again!
So well done. I wanna get into machining as a result of watching your vids. It's so satisfying seeing the hard work pay off.
Ah. The stuff of genius!
I love these.
So happy! Great video. I swear every time a new video comes out, it’s like I won the lottery.
Very neat
Practical and beautiful! Stunning work as always.
round things square, square things round. That's the machinist way
