Vise holddowns

[craig9]

Hi folks,

I needed a way to hold my precision grinding vise down on the mill table, so I carved up some recycled cold rolled steel, and made some chunky and solid hold downs. The design allows for maximum support, minimum metal chip collection, and you can also use the holddowns with 2 instead of three bolts, allowing the vise to be placed fore and aft on the table.

This video was also made as an entry into the #tmc2020 tool making competition held by Emma at Emma's Spareroom Machineshop. If you search youtube for #tmc2020 , you will find a bunch of other tools made on video, that you might find interesting.

Cheers,
Craig
