Drill Press Vice

[SteveAxelrod]

I updated my HF drill press vice with black hammered spray paint and a turned handle.

Love it! :biggrin:

Neat ! . There's no problem recognizing that as a pen vise !!!

I've been thinking of doing that with a flyswatter but need to find someone to cast me a blank with embedded dead flies !!!

That brings to mind an old gambler's saying....you can't polish a turd :biggrin:

I remember a little bar in central California with the only bathrooms in the gas station across the parking lot. Bathrooms had no doors. First cold snap and there would be a carpet of dead flies crunching under your feet. Good place to scoop up a bag of dead flies this fall if you want the location.

Thanks, but I would probably have trouble importing those into Canada !!

But, come to think of it, this would be a unique idea for a blank !!

Hmmmm .... please give me the location .... latitude and longitude, please, to save any confusion !!

I believe you do casting ... right ?

That is beautiful! I wish I had the time to re-turn all my handles. (Pun intended).

Beaut idea,well done. I bought forever ago an X Y Axis Vice and fitted prismatic jaws over here from a dealer,they are available at Grizzly making a versatile set up from every which way to hold irregular cut burl chasing the grain etc. You could fit the jaws to your Vice as well. Kind regards.

There is a big difference between a vice and a vise.:biggrin:

On the other hand this is my present set up forv drilling blanks using the prismatic jaws in a vice similar to the Vice in the original post,pointing out it will do everything required for drilling blanks.

I went to a garage sale it turned out to be a mate of mine selling this drill press. In the next week he rang me and asked would I like the XY mammoth unit. I am a big bloke it took all I had to carry and instal,what a ripper with micrometer adjustment.

Now I stress that same cheap vice does the job real well.

That is a really nice XY table Peter

I think Peter's XX table and vise removes the difference between a vise and a vice. Just saying!
