In this review, the author shows how to make a quick-tightening vice for a drilling machine with your own hands. Unlike classic yews, home-made vices allow you to fix the workpiece much faster.
To make a quick-tightening vice for a drilling machine, you will need different pieces of metal cut from a thick plate and a "skeleton" gun for extruding silicone.
The first thing you need to do from a plate or strip of metal is to cut two rectangular blanks. Two pieces of steel square bar of the same length as the cut pieces must be welded to them.
The main stages of work
In the next step, you need to cut a rectangular plate, and weld it to square rods. Welds and the metal itself will need to be cleaned with a flap wheel for angle grinders.
In the stripes themselves, using the same grinder, you need to make slots. Previously, at the edges, making markings, the master drills holes. In the upper plate you also need to make a slot (rectangular "window").
Next, a bar of metal is welded to the edge of the plate. In it, the author drills two holes for attaching the clamping jaw. This sponge will be motionless. Then a movable clamping sponge is also made.
At the last stage, we cut off everything superfluous from the silicone gun, drill holes and fasten it to a metal bar welded to the top plate of the yew base.
For details on how to make a quick-tightening vice for a drilling machine, we recommend that you look in the video on the site.
