INC vs ABS?

Would there be any optical sensors that could do the positioning? It would meet the criteria of ”no touch”.

If you check out the Gerardi factory video I posted in #20 above, they have “accessory” jaws and even jaw blocks. At about the 2min mark they start showing them. One of the special ones is the movable jaw block with the Vs in it which allows for round objects to be held vertically in three...

UPDATE: Thanks to a member for reminding me that I left this thread “hanging” with me temporarily wiring the fan to the aux lugs of the power contactor. I did in fact follow @YotaBota ’s suggestion about 5 months ago, and bought a “time off“ (multifunction) relay. I now use the N/O AUX lugs...

Yes, for the $s, it was. Yes, with the provision that it does not have all the functionalities of a real Gerardi. I’ll elaborate later… Yes, I am going to keep it. It will be fully functional once I get done with it.

Well, they do make the vises in different sizes… so maybe there is one that fits your needs?

All great questions & comments @PeterT and @Susquatch (and others). Thanks! When I have a bit of time I’ll investigate and report back what I find. Here is a factory video from Gerardi. It shows the basic construction and proper use of the Modular vise. My Clone looks identical, but I will...

I am not sure about that. Here is why I think it is possible to tram this vise like any other. Look at the side view of the jaw plate and the fixed jaw body. The jaw sits down onto a ground reference lip when you tighten the jaw retaining bolts on the back and tap the jaw down. The jaws only...

True, but not everyone on the factory floor got the memo… Let me explain: one of the biggest complaints the fellow in the video had about his vise was the fact that the fixed jaw was not square to the bed on his. He proceeded to fix it by hard milling the key. He ended up with too small a key...
