Hi All,

What vice do you use to hold you blanks during inital drilling?

I have a sorba vice and a jet vice that came with the drill.

I seem to end up off center, sometimes drasticly and considering the drill quality I think either its an uneven surface of my blank or the vice is not holding it properly.

I have used a pen vice however it seemd to have jammed up...solid...

Any comments/help welcome.

Thanks,

Kami

It doesn't weigh that much. I love mine. But another alternative that some use here with great results is drilling using your lathe with a jacobs chuck on the tale stock. I believe that they use a set of spigot jaws on a 4 jawed chuck to hold the blank.

I've got one too[:D]

Here's how mine helps me.

1. With your chosen drill bit in your DP, lower the quill fully and lightly clamp the vice to the bit, THEN clamp the vice to the DP table. Centred holes every time[:D]

2. For long holes, simply start drilling with the blank at the bottom of the vice jaws, then raise the blank when you reach the limit of the DP.[:D]No more moving the table up a bit[}:)]

Edit to fix poor gramar and speeeling[:I]

Best thing I've ever won!!!!!!!!!

Don't you start!!!!! Poor spelling we can handle, it's just when OUR grammar is wrecked by our Western (reject)cousins, that gets the hackles rising.[8D]

PS. Good luck with the auction.[;)] But don't you and Dawn have some 'business' to attend to? Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.[;)]
If that is not 'macho' enough for you, then GET A BLOODY MOVE ON, Christmas is coming and I have gifts to make, geesh!!!!![:D]

Oh Dawn, my sweetheart. I fear the time you have spent with that ruffian is beginning to tell on you. I refer of course to the e-mail of circa 20/9/07 that I sent you. And our subsequent misalls

We are digressing seriously from the original thread, (sorry)but did I ever mention that my first true love was also a Dawn? Ahhhhh.....eyes of emerald green.....and her tortoises where much freindlier than mine..... Oh Dawn Fosbrook, where are you now??????
(Probably has 6 kids and lives in a council house in Essex)


Ok, back to reality... the beer in Scotland is pretty potent so I'm going to bed before I write some else I'll regret in the morning[;)]

Soooo....Sugar, how <b>IS</b> the hang-over this morning?????????[xx(][xx(][xx(][xx(][xx(][xx(]

Cold water help any?????



Good job there Skippy! In your altered state you managed to insult all Westerners (including the Irish apparently), the Church, business people, vices, vises, vouses (whatever that is), people who live in Essex, people with kids, your first true love, tortoises everywhere, people who live in council houses, some unnamed person, and people who write the Queen's English. Not that I'm keeping tabs......but not bad for one night! [:0][:0][:0][:0][:p]

But, Skippy my darling, I have confidence in you. I know that you <b>can</b> do better! Want to have another go??? [}:)][:D][:D][:D][}:)]
