G'day everyone,

In this project series I will be attempting to make a toolmakers vise to replace the big 4 inch import vise. I will be making it from scratch using 75 x 25 mild steel. In this video I will be machining the vise body, fixed jaw, moving jaw and the clamping system. In the next videos I will be heat treating and grinding the vise into tolerance. I hope you enjoy the new video series.
