After having gone to great lengths to forge to rough shape , bandsaw
to closer shape , and do 75% of the machining on a piece of 4140 steel for the body of a small screwless vice ... I noticed in the notes that it calls for aluminum . Who in their right mind makes a vise for use on a machine tool out of aluminum ? I don't so I continued machining . All I have left to do to the body now is drill the holes to secure the fixed jaw to the body then I can move on to the jaws . I'll be using 4140 for those too . -- Snag In 1775, the British demanded we give them our guns. We shot them |
