Whilst I got good results from this set up, I strongly recommend against doing this machining process on a mill.
G'day everyone,
welcome back to part 3 of making a toolmaker vice for the milling machine. in the previous video I case hardened and tempered it to 55-60 HRC. in this video I intend to grind it down to final dimension and test it.
Without access to a surface grinder, I decided to use a grinding stone mounted in the mill to grind the part. This was not an easy, nor pleasant process which took a lot of trial and error to get right. whilst I do not recommend this method, I was able to get it to work, with hopefully minimal long term consequences to the mill.
cheers
