How much force in a vise?
How much force does a common shop vise develop in its jaws? Google was
pretty unhelpful on this - the only reference I could find suggested up to 7000 lb. Another paper suggested that a minimum required clamping force for machining is much less - up to 1000 N. I am interested because I am trying to guess how much force I can develop in this press: http://www.flickr.com/photos/2768312...57622484352534 Right now my answer would be "not enough" (see the following photos if you are interested in the process). Can anybody suggest how such force could be measured? Michael Koblic, Campbell River, BC |
