you can buy a milling vise and hold down clamps...

but for the stuff i mill, i find the store bought "hold downs" way too big.... so i made my own base and hold down clamps...

these are very useful when milling plate work...

each clamp has its own height adjustment thingee.....no need for aditional riser blocks.....

That is very cool. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for your mill?

Nice! I have something similar on my mill, but it is a huge compared to a small one since i use it for my buisness as well. Nice job though!

how did you design the parts you made?

overtki11 · 02.16.2007, 08:30 AM

i don't...i mill on the fly....hope that makes sense...

basically for example...i wanna hook up the engine to the tranny...i hold the engine in a position where i think will fit and see what i need to hold it in that particular location...once i do that, i mill whatever i dun need off the piece. and i'll be left with what you see....

jollyjumper · 02.16.2007, 08:39 AM

holy crap, thats amazing.

It does to me, I can't draw and still learning emachine , so i do most designing in my head. When i get close i start looking at details.

jollyjumper · 02.16.2007, 11:02 AM

there are nice machines on that site!

overtki11 · 02.22.2007, 11:05 AM

well, decided that i'm a gonna do without the reverse gear for now....seeing how i'd need to buy a micro servo and fab yet another servo mount....haha...

so i removed the opti-drive....

the hole in the tranny needed to be "blocked up" and also, needed to have something to lock the shifter rod in place...
here's what i came up with...
