Such a great tip with the soft jaws! Even I can machine that. Thanks you as always, Stuart, for taking the time.
wonderful video Sir...best regards from Florida, Paul
Good tips. I did not know they made 5C extender tubes.
Hi there Bill. I got it in a set that came with a stop and the wrench shown in the clip. They are really limited in usefulness though because of the draw tube issue that I mentioned. I might make up a special stop and extension that will fit in the draw tube. Take care!
Let’s make that stop Stuart !
Will do. I'm swamped with making demo videos for my class right now. All lectures have been put online because of COVID so I can maximize their time on the machines. Once things calm down I'll get to it.
I completely understand. I have been considering purchasing one, but I would rather make a version of your design. Again, I wish I could attend a class of yours in person!
Thanks for the reply Stuart! All the best with the classes this year !
learned some new stuff......cheers, Paul
Good info.Thank you
I learn something every time, thanks Stuart.
I keep telling myself that I need to make some soft jaws for my mill vise but I keep forgetting when I get to my shop. Maybe this video will help me remember to do that before getting distracted with some other project that I keep putting off.
Thanks for the great content.
Good information.
As usual, a very clear and cogent presentation. I wish you would post more often as I find your posts to always be quite useful. I’m a newbie to machining and I appreciate it that you don’t assume much prior knowledge and background. It makes your presentations easy to understand and accelerates the learning curve greatly. Thanks!
I have good news then. There's going to be a flurry of new videos coming up soon. With COVID, I've had to move my lectures online. I'll be making some videos for my classes next week and I've also got several other videos shot and waiting to be edited. Thanks for watching!
@@StuartdeHaro That's good news. I also appreciate your style of presentation and always enjoy your videos.
Awesome video! I was going through video withdrawal on your videos. I got caught up and was patiently waiting for your next video. Thanks for always taking the time to explain things. I'm learning a lot from your videos.
A truly excellent summation of stops and their uses. Well done! I've subscribed.
Excellent, thanks.
I appreciate you posting!
Thanks for this very informative video!
Awesome content ... thanks and look forward to the upcoming project
Very interesting info! Thanks for sharing and keep up your great work!
I know what I'm having for lunch!
Good video. I have some feedback:
12:46 Technically, unless the jaws or part are deforming, they are still likely only contacting at a few points. If it's particularly precise, you may be getting a few lines of contact. This is still better than the two points of hard jaws, but if you need to hold cylinders, holding between a flat and a vee or two vees is equivalent and sometimes more precise/predictable. It does depend on exactly what you are doing. There are many nuances to softjaws.
19:17 Fixturing is not always sacrificial, and I would say more often saved than scrapped, with the exception of modular fixturing which is reconfigured per need. Fixturing is a lot more complicated than that.
Thanks for the feedback. I once worked in a place that made lots of ones and twos, rarely more than ten parts and rarely repeated. They had a stack of 1" thick aluminum plates cut to the size of their mill tables. The machinists just picked a clean spot, milled a pocket, and drilled and tapped some holes for clamps, and went to town on their parts. Then they repeated the process for the next one-off. When the plate started to look like a city skyline, they swapped it out for another one and scrapped the old one.
I work at a University now, so not a lot of big production runs here either. Most of our work can be done with stops, but every now and then you just have to figure out how you're going to hold that odd-shaped piece that has to be machined on all sides.
Thank you Stewart, hopefully this will motivate me to make a table mount stop, your Prefered example.
My 5C collet stop is not as good as your design nor do I have the 5C ring wrench, back to the drawing board.
A suggestion when machining the pockets and steps in soft vice jaws would be to place the setting parallel or whatever you may use as close to the height of the anticipated job grip hight, even going as far as using a sacrificial material rather than a tool steel parallel and even to overtighten the vice a fraction more than would be done for the work piece, to allow for wear in the vice.
I'm not sure I described that well...
Good to see you will be making more videos.
Thank you .
You explained it quite well and those are excellent suggestions. Thanks!
👍
