Tramming a vise is the procedure of using an indicator to sweep a vise jaw (you want the fixed jaw, not the movable jaw) so you can adjust the vise position until the sweep shows the vise jaw is parallel to the axis as it moves. Learning to tram (or "square") a Machinist Vise is one of those basic skills every machinist must learn early on.

A machinist vise is a special type of vise made to hold workpieces on a milling machine. A good machinist vise is well made, typically of cast iron. It operates smoothly repeatably, and it has a wedge mechanism that pulls the movable jaw down onto the bed so the part is not lifted due to deflection as the jaws are tightened.

Locating a small part perpendicular (and repeatably) to a small diameter tap is critical to avoid tap breakage. Imported toolmaker's vises are cost-effective (especially for surface-grinding, the primary purpose) but have disadvantages. One disadvantage is the lack of clamping force under certain conditions, such as when the clamping screw is

Jan 12, 2019. #3. There are several kinds of vises that are labelled "toolmaker's vise". There are screwless vises and vises that tighten a screw via a handle on the end; some call these grinding vises. Milling vises look like a Kurt-type vise. Depending on the size, some vises will be taller than others. Milling vises may be a little taller

Precision vise plans. Anyone have or know of plans for a small precision vise. I'll include a picture of the style I'm interested in. Try the Tool and Die Guy on YouTube. If you can wait, on Tuesday I'll be in night school and can check the blueprint file for shop made precision vises. Appreciate it.

In addition to choosing the right size vise for your machine, identifying the right types of vise for workholding is critical to making sure your workpiece is secured while its being milled. There are a three types of vises that you'll commonly encounter in CNC milling - the machinist vise, the CNC vise, and the toolmaker vise. Machinist Vise

I have a toolmaker's vise with the slots on the sides. I use it all the time on the mill table. I use standard clamps to hold it in place. I make sure that the spacers at the back end of the clamps are set HIGHER than the slots are so the clamping pressure is applied to the inside part of the slot, not at the edge where it may cause permanent distortion of the metal ther

by Hawk99 » Thu Sep 09, 2010 1:11 pm. I am still making semi-precision things with less than precision machines. Here is my latest. A shop made 4" mill vise with angle lock sorta. I knew I could not cast the lower base and ways, so I made the base from 5/8 plate and the ways from 1018 1-1/4 square. The fixed and movable jaw are also 1018.

The Taig is actually a good place for a screwless vise that is maybe modified just a bit to bolt directly to the T-slots on the Taig's bed. If I was to design a vise for this mill I would keep that in mind and try to make it as low profile as possible. The idea being to have a vise that is suitable for the capacity of the milling machine.

A 4 or 5 inch would be about right for your mill. The design is pretty simple and can be duplicated on a milling machine. With a little creative thought about setups and design, you could do most of it by clamping the parts to the table rather than using your current vice.

The toolmakers at my last job squared up material every day in this fashion with a couple of toe clamps and one indicated square edge clamped to the table using a 3" carbide insert mill (or face mill/shell mill).

Small toolmaker's vises aren't made to stand there forces of milling. They may let the work slip. To get the most grip possible,cut pieces of brown paper bag(it has no clay) and interpose them between the workpiece and the vise jaws. They will greatly reduce slippage from the smooth jaws of the vise.
