    The quickest way I know how to clock up a machine vice

    Hi All
    I thought I would share this video with you on the way I clock up a vice. I hope once you have watched it anybody having any issues with this fundamental part of milling will be able to try this simple, quick, and accurate method to help speed up set up times. This method works on all types of set ups.
    One quick note before clamping any tool or component to a machine table ensure all mating faces are clean and the tee slots are clear of any swarf. This will increase the accuracy of setting the machine up and prevent any damage. Hope you enjoy the video and I am not showing you how to suck eggs.



    Thank you again for your interest in my post
