A hardwood is recommended for maximum strength. I've seen a few people talk about doing the chain, but it seems like it'd add more resistance when opening/closing the vise and possibly clog with dust. Reply High alloyed quality resistance steel, case hardened HRC 60 ±2, is used in manufacturing all the Gerardi vises and accessories in order to give maximum rigidity, high performances and no wear.

I removed the chop and drilled a 2" deep hole at the drill press with a I decided to keep the handle simple for now (mostly because I don't have a lathe). 1 year ago 1 year ago I am sure that this comes from school. It's taken a while (watching for sales, etc.) This is a large vise with 12" jaws and will clamp wood, metal, or anything else you need. Yeah, I was glad to see that there were some decently affordable ones now.
Reply To ensure the screw was centered in the hole in the chop I shimmed it along the floor, and then pre-drilled and attached the screw to the chop with a pair of 2" #14 screws.Then, with the chop tightened against the bench leg and centered along the bottom, I inserted the Forstner bit that matched the bearing size and marked on the back of the chop the location for the rod. I drill a 1.75" hole in the leg and use a mallet to press in the bearing. You can mount it on your work bench permanently or simply clamp it down as needed. A bench vise is an integral part of any working shop and this one is designed to last lifetimes as an heirloom piece to be handed down. So I cut a piece of 1" oak dowel, sanded it well, and pinned it in place with a screw. At the center of that hole, I drilled another one that was just slightly larger than the bearing's cylinder so that there would be a small amount of wiggle room to make mounting it perpendicular to the leg face a bit easier.I then drilled another hole about 9" down from the top of the leg's tenon (the bench top) for the vise screw. I started by reattaching the screw collar to the back of the leg (after the paint dried).I then inserted the vise screw through the chop and threaded it onto the collar. I say that’s absolutely not a concern. 1 year ago Here’s why: Consider this.
To center the collar opening with the hole in the leg, I mostly just eye-balled it from above while making a few marks at the extents. A project like this might seem complicated but it is broken down into easy to build parts that even a beginning woodworker can do. 1 year ago Ideally you should watch the videos before or during construction. Reply A project like this might seem complicated but it is broken down into easy to build parts that even a beginning woodworker can do. Since my Forstner bits weren't quite long enough, I then finished drilling the holes with a spade bit in my cordless drill by clamping the leg down to a few small blocks to prevent tear-out on the back of the leg.Next, I double checked that the linear bearing was perpendicular to the front face of the leg by inserting the linear rod and made a few slight adjustments with the Forstner bit in my cordless drill before pre-drilling and screwing it to the leg.I mounted the vise-screw's collar to the rear of the leg using four 3" #14 screws. 1 year ago I wish my shop was as new and fully equipped as yours. With the drawer liner on the chop it is for most operations. The Extreme Bench Vise plans are highly detailed plans which include step by step instructions over 17 pages of 3D drawings (PDF format).
It is extremely strong and has extraordinary clamping pressure due to the design. This is a …
on Nice job. 1 year ago I started by rough-cutting a 2x8 into two pieces at the miter saw.
nice project, I hasn't realised the linear bearings and rods were so affordable. Do you think that's possible? They usually consist of a screw, level, or cam-type mechanism that closes and holds two or more jaws around a workpiece To recess the linear bearing, I started by drilling a larger, shallow hole in the leg a few inches up from the bottom on the front face of the leg. 1 year ago Now i we could just get you to spell vice correctly everything would be perfect. I found another scrap piece of wood and cut it to 16" long by 6" wide to match the roughly 4" wide by 1.5" deep cut that I would be making in the vise chop. 1 year ago You'd have to make the chain fairly tight to avoid backlash but the robustness of your design suggests it could be done fairly easily. Next you'll be demanding that I spell "color" with a "u"! A 30mm bearing and rod probably would have eliminated most of it (also adding drawer liner or leather to the chop helped considerably), but with the 20mm ones I used I decided to try Jay Bates's solution which was to use a wedge along the bottom of the chop. Benches had vices on … If you're working with an existing bench, it should still be possible to drill all the holes with a cordless drill using a square to keep the drill as perpendicular to the front face of the leg as possible.
