Thought I'd share a good deal!

Stumbled on it in Amazon, I was going to make one but not after I found this one. Can't go wrong for $38.00!

Well I'm on hold for ordering things until we get back after our XMas escape. So anything that gets delivered during that time might sit on the porch for much of a day before a friend would pick it up. So I think, even though I want one, I'll wait. Don't really need it at the moment.

Although... want and need are two different things.
 
Looks close. I will try and print it. If it is good I'll post the files here.

It is set up for a 0.25" or a 0.125" rod. Made the holes large enough to handle a 10mm cap screw or a 3/8" cap screw.
Will need to make a 0.625" dia. threaded barrel nut and a 0.625" dia. barrel washer. (I thought about 3D printing the barrels but the thread might not stand up. Thought about 3D printing t-nut also.)

Vise Stops come in a lot of variations.
Mine bolts behind the fixed jaw and is easy to remove.
Here's the one I use most of the time. Then there's the one that clamps on the jaw and the one that bolts to the table. You can never have too many.

I still need to make one that has a step for the stepped jaws. Seems I'm always switching from step to parallels and having to switch stops.
 
The price of the one below is tempting - but it is a weak want (and not a need).

I park this spare indicator magnetic base at the back of the mill tray - it works well, no tools are needed, it is quick to adjust/place, and has a fine adjustment. (I bought a dial indicator from Accusize. The base arrived with a cosmetic crack/chip. I complained and they sent me a new one and said don't bother returning the damaged one. I repaired it and it is now my free vise stop).

(BTW- Accusize are great to deal with and for anyone that does not realize it - they give us CHMW members a 10% discount).

KSFs: Wide adjustability and ease of movement.
Bravo !!
 
Looks better in real life. :)

5 pieces
I used PLA. 4 walls 20% grid infill
Tree supports for the bone.

If I did it again I would use a textured build plate for the red pieces. The smooth build plate makes for some slippery joints. It should tighten up ok, but a textured surface would be better,.



Cheers,
