Milling Vice Alignment? No, Thanks! Milling Vice Modification

  • I wanted to make this for a very long time and now I finally found some time to do it. It's always very annoying and time consuming to align the milling vice on the table with the dial indicator. Now I drilled and reamed a few holes in the bottom of the vice, so I can align it just with two hardened pins in the slots of the milling table. It turned out very well and works very accurate. This will be a huge help in the future.
    I hope you like my work and the video.

    More of this type of content please!!! Machinist basics as you said in another comment is very interesting to machinists and non-machinists alike. Machinists get to review the fundamentals, non-machinists get an insight into your work and your work is outstanding. Your lathe work is simply awe inspiring, for example. Non-machinists should know what goes on behind the scenes. I’m sure every one of them watching this video has a new appreciation for the mill set up you’ve had to do so many times throughout your videos. Also congrats on how much more relaxed you sound.

    We just gripped a piece of keysteel that fitted tight in the table slots. Turn the vice over gripped the key steel clamped the vice down. Mill a slot that fitted the key steel, drill and tapped the key steel to the vice and that made it true with the axis. All you had to do was put the vice on the table and clamp it down it was always spot on.

    This is going to depend heavily on the precision of the bed grooves. With a 10mm M6 pin (10,015/10,006) in a reamed 10,1mm hole (maybe 10,110/10,090 if set up well), you've already got 104um potential misalignment. If the grooves in the bed are wider than 10.1mm, you're right back to where you started. Either your bed grooves are extremely tightly toleranced, or you got lucky when tightening the nuts 😜

    That is perfect, A milling machine is to rough out the project you are working on.. So in most cases it does not have to be exact.. You use a surface grinding for the exact Dimensions.. I miss using these machines.. so much fun taking a raw piece of metal and making an item

    "So far so good" is OK but your work is always beautiful and beyond just "good."

    Very cool idea! I don't know if I could ever get myself to do it on a Kurt vise but I still loved the video.
