Attachment 30224
I am prompted to post this simple device for holding tapered objects in the vice, having recently seen a post on this forum of a vice which was designed specifically to hold tapers. The post showed a tapered rasp or float that the vice held. Which is what mine is doing here.

The device is made from a piece of angle iron with a piece of short round bar welded to it, and this provides the fulcrum.
that's a good simple fix
i would not have thought of that
thank you for posting this
Ray

He's in the UK, where they don't use the correct English spelling of some words... :lol:
Perhaps, Baddog, we in the UK use the correct ENGLISH spelling, but not the accepted American spelling!
I know. My comment was intended as humor.

Humour was my last line of defence as a burnt out English teacher: that was before smilies were invented. I have to retain some sense of professionalism, you know, even at the risk of appearing pedantic. (I am being humorous). I had not heard of Poe’s Law before. That’s nothing to do with being po-faced, is it?
Or humour.Quote:
