A Tale of three Vices

all right welcome back to a shop this time I wanted to tell you a tale of three ysus we have a little hand Weiss I got from the flea market with a bent spindle and chewed up chance we have the newer brother of my bench lies a nice piece with tough tail-slide but somebody broke the spindle on it or in fact it's been long D since fixed the spindle not as rotating and it twisted off so we will also fix that one hand last and Errol is this one with a hundred and seven millimeter width on the Charles this is straight out of the scrap bin it's rusted but it's in good shape the handle is not bent it's not nobody did it hit with a hammer Norris the end will really banged up or the Charles chewed up it's just just dirty and rusty so we will also clean up this one and paint it oh hang around and see what's next first one is this nice little hand wise I got from the flea market for one euro I took it home because it has nice narrow Charles the spindle there with the square thread is spent but we can fix that that's not too bad just get it Spindler you spend less in fact it's a button hat bolt and we'll straighten out this boat and we're also going to Rhema Sheen detox we're going to to mill them flat so they give a nice touch again we can take it apart further because this joint down here is switched together you can't take these apart what once they are put together but we just need to clean it clamp down milling machine and run a and mill through here to touch up the chalks okay I don't really want to get off the hold paint and the patina I just want to clean off the dirt so first you're using curl wd-40 just to soak it a bit and brass brush always helps okay here we have the wing nut and bolt with the squares Reb that's not a acnes wrap Knapp is a flat thread the crests of this red are square this is a pretty old-school style of a thread but this case is practically fine nice red can bear quite a lot of load and for purpose of clamping device that's fine but as you can see it got a slight bend to it and we're going to fix a clamp to bolt between two pieces of plywood and I'm trying to straighten it out and I'm going step by step on this is one of those operations you need five hands I got it straight enough and we'll put it back into D yep we are back in a usable reasonable condition but I wasn't going to do while I cut recut the Charles is I'm going to to angle them like this I'm going to pull pull back the surfaces and I'm going to do this because I want a grip that I want to I want them to grip in the front first so when I clamp something with say five millimeters I want it to be clamped in front not back here like it's right now so for demonstration when I insert the pencil and the hand wise and clamp it yeah I drop it and now if you can see this it actually clamps back here and the part can wiggle in there I want it that front portion of the Charles clamps on stuff so that's really what I'm going to back cut or relieve the back of the Charles and we're going to do this on a milling machine Oh oops yeah they they are pretty hard seems like when you're hardened on the face here but not oh there they are kind of hard here but they are file hard right here okay here's what we're going to do I have this setup block which is kind like a 1-2-3 block lot but it has to step in it it has a fuse red at 6 millimeter holes in it and it's all ground I made a pair of these a few years ago when I had access to a surface grinder and this is what we're going to use I have two shorts dot I dropped my my sonic and used a knot down here that's the way we're going to campus and Weis town tighten this nut and I'm just lining by I this with the surface sides kind of lie to each other okay just for safety we put another clamp no there you go that's the setup I'm going to use and now I can clamp this on an angle on the milling machine and the big vise and run ant mill along this area over the milling machine and we have our setup and we're going to drop this into the then I'm using a wise which is a square to sight down against these saw this jaw and I set it to the desired undercut and this is way too much of an undercut so I'm tilting it down and that's about that's about how much on the cut I want and the setup block will stay in the milling machine for both sides I will not touch the setup button until I'm done I will just loosen these two clamps rotate it around and clamp it again set up a Shree flute coated carbide end mill it's not a new ml because these chars are hard and then will take a beating with that procedure so I'm going to use a used one and as you saw that went very well I got a very nice surface finish almost a mirror finish I'm going to turn this and Weiss around and machine man second side okay upwind also very well and I again I got a nice surface finish okay I cleaned everything up I rounded over yeah just slightly on the bench grinder and I'm happy with it now we put this one euro flea market find back to good use at first I a little bit worried that these Charles might only be a surface harbor case-hardened but here they are still hard and seemed like the whole shine front disheartens through also on the outside if al doesn't catch yeah and by relieving the back of the Charles I can now very precisely grab small parts to hold them like on the bench grinder when you're grinding where small parts and don't want to burn your fingers you can use something like this or holding small Chimel parts for grilling or soldering or while or braising or whatever you want every time you want a pair of fingers that are a bit more durable than your own something like this is very nearly over just a second why swifty twisted off spindle not and we're going to take it apart for us to take up the actual spindle or should I say the the yeah it's the spindle which holds the sorry peanut on front so take this out this plate goes off and you can pull out this spindle piece there is a washer I think that's hardened and there is the spindle and right here in front you can see that day when they made this this was actually welded on this nut is does not in the spindle these are two pieces and they welded it on and for some reason they when they cleaned up the weld looks like they cleaned up on a lay and they undercut it and that's the area where it broke okay and further to start with just going to clean up the broken weld here because I'm not sure what's in that weld we're going to use a carbide tool great put a slight camper on the inside and outside okay and for the spindle we need to set up the steady wrist because this end is too big in spindle board the slave has only a 21 millimeter spindle bore and this knob has about 30 millimeters and lock it in and yeah that's that's running very that's a bit wonky yeah we're going to draw this bit more out of the check so we can force it where we want it if we bury this end very deep in the Chuck jaws we can't align the end here and this is what we want I set up a dial indicator to to visualize wha how much run out I am at and gives it a big overhang I don't need a hammer I can just push that thing around and it doesn't get better than 2/10 of a millimeter I don't think that this pipe is a welded pipe it's that it's it has a seam so it's not round I'm just going to align me steady rest fingers and hope for the best with the steady rest you run out get kind of equalized but you still have to set it up though it's straight otherwise you will get very funny geometrical errors in your part that's fine not that run out we can live it's just the bench why snob a high precision machine spindle thing so they're going again for a carbide cutter and matter what the pipe is pretty using one of my score boy porn board and the past with the boring bar was only to clean up the inside of the pipe I didn't shoot for a particular diameter I just want it to be cylindrical smooth and I wanted to get rid of the welding seam on the inside okay I just turned down the end of the nut to fit the inside of the spindle pipe with a light press fit okay we have to make sure the and will out that's a piece of railroad track and we're going to press our hammer in not into the pipe and that's a nice fit that when why they have our nice leak roof all-around built by the two chamfers that will give us our wealth preparation I thought the pieces up in a V block in the wise and I put a second shop made v block on top can't ever sing with a pasty clamp together I didn't tighten this clamp down or your heart so I can still turn my part in the B so I don't have to reek lamp it while I'm going around got the spindle back into the wife's body and addressed up the dewild slightly with a file and some Emery paper and as you can see it's not the ugliest weld in the world so that's okay and and the best thing if with that repair you Isis back in working order I just need to make two wise choice but I don't have material here for it right now i'm i'm going to use copper or mild steel of a prefer copper and just going to cut into lengths drill it and counterbore it scroll down there no need to show that on camera you have seen that a few dozen times so that's the second wise done and I can proceed onto the circuit here we have a cert wise that's the scrap bin wife that's a very common wife here in Germany you see them almost in every fabrication shop they are they can take quite a beating they are forged not cast they have a BB spindle in them and they are almost indestructible and also you can see that this Weiss has quite a lot of range that can clamp I think they can clamp up to two the leaders there can see this massive forged new whole child with double a prismatic guideway and also the very heavy Acme screw feed screen and also this is a to start thread that means they can have a higher pitch and this enables the wise to move very fast but still have a lot a lot of strength and screen I got the spindle out there is a hidden spring steel ring behind the wash and you have to pry it out with a screwdriver then there is the washer that hides the spring ring and a heavy-duty very heavy preload spring 40 for the spindle to remove any slack in the and and in the spend land it's all where dirty this wise seen some use and the the grease has collected a lot of debris over the years but look at the spring this is a very heavy-duty spring divider there's about three millimeters in diameter here and man I can't really bend this collapse the spring by hand and ever since for yourself nice to start Acme thread and deburring sir face and ever stink thing there looks still pretty good the bearing surface has thumbed where to it but it's not too bad we'll just clean it off and run and polish this area slightly then there is also a washer here and that seems to be hardened to act as an action axial bearing it dropped all the parts in two bins with hot water and citric acid to get rid of most of the rust the citric acid will do a pretty good job on removing the the surface rust and also the rust that's really embedded in the material but on the handle you can already see that rust is getting removed if we recall a picture from before it was all brown all over this was very rusted and very it's still pitted material is still gone but it's getting cleaner than stuff sitting in there for about 12 hours and you citric acid getting a nice yellowish color and now we try to get that stuff out without making a huge mess there is still a good amount of directional paint job left and not looking too bad so maybe I will just clean it up clean that apprentice mark in the amble surface looks like somebody has burned a big hole with them a stick welder in it and clean that up and yeah call it dumb the whole mess off the bench and the swapper left we have the big parts of the Y's that are almost free from rust and I'm still not sure about the paint shop don't think doesn't look too bad yet it looks worn and used but that's what it is it's used and I think I'm not going to paint it it still looks ok are we going to repair the end will off my grinder with a carbide burr fine pitched carbide clear and the safety glasses because these burrs throw a heckuva chips that come off there or just nasties that are we're going to machine this out too so we have clean metal and then we it was going to weld it or fill it up with the tick the hole filled up pretty good and the next step we're going to machine the anvil surface flat twice body set up on the shaper and I'm ready to machine this animal surface first I tried to do it with with the grinder but it's just too much material to remove and why bother if I can do a better shot with a machine tool I shaved it with breath shim stock so it doesn't more the scrape machine table and might have noticed also put a brass sheet metal under my under knee distance pieces I put on my clamps the only surface as I let touch my machine table or machine surfaces or blank drawings or faces from cold drawn material but no rough surfaces no castings no mill scale where will ever touch my machine table so I always put something in between and I have a roll of 110 millimeter brass shim stock that comes very handy for that chops I also had to tilt the top slide of the shaper so I can get in here and don't hit the fixed child of the slice as I don't really know what the material afters and will surface or the whole Weiss is I'm using some cutting off doesn't hurt this tool bit and the tip of it just was braided away I think I hit the heart spot in the anvil surface I think it's in the area where I did my welding and something created a heart spot and yeah I think we have to go to Clank B and use a carbide shaper tool and see how about a carbide tool and to cut some bit more material and it works pretty good but you can exactly see where the hard spot isn't it this area and that light that like a shiny area that's where I did my welding and it seems that there is some carbon or too much carbon in the steel and it hardened well well it's cleaned up and I don't want to take too much material off I just want it to be flat again and they finish you can still see very hard spot this but that will clean up with some emery paper and the file will just clean up the surface lightly and I'm very happy how it came out even 15 minor problems I'm just going to clean it up with Kyle and some Emery paper or Emery cloth and I'm backing off the Emery cloth with a file and with the surface with I got it back together got some grease on the guiding surfaces on this bevel also in this axial bearing here and movable child also I will place the missing bolt for the adjustment of the play and this bolt is pulled here just pinches together these two side pieces and that's to adjust the play of the movable child and as you see there is not much play in it actually that's moving Mac but I don't think that's more that it's more than half a millimeter in both directions just like we going it and so we have the anvil resurfaced we got all the rust off relieving the paint shop and and that's it I already have somebody who wants this wise so I don't have to bother with eBay or something like that it will go to good hands so and that was it that was the tale of the three wise so thank you for watching and hope you enjoyed
