    mini self centering vice

    hey fellow creators,

    Thought I'd share one of my favorite tools. this little baby is used often, it locks like superglue and the step in the jaws saves scrounging for
    levels, easy to square on the mill.

    overall length:97mm
    width:55mm
    height:43mm
    thread 10mm left and right of course
    base:8mm mild
    side channels:16mm mild
    jaws:1/4" O1 tool steel heat treated to 55 Rockwell

    The handle has a spring with a ball bearing inside to hold handle in upright or level position, note dimple in small part of handle.

    The base I opted to attach with screws rather than gouge out to be able to adjust the clearance.

    cheers stevoh
