vossiewulf Posted Thursday at 05:16 PM #5 Posted Thursday at 05:16 PM It's very nice but with no means to mount it on mill it's going to be of limited utility. thibaultron and Gregory 2 Building HM Cutter Lady Nelson 1:64
paul ron Posted Thursday at 08:43 PM #6 Posted Thursday at 08:43 PM (edited) pretty cool vise. but with so many available, its just making the wheel a bit rounder. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=micro+drill+press+vise&adgrpid=1332610568930946&hvadid=83288435234468&hvbmt=be&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=98071&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvtargid=kwd-83289281303982%3Aloc-190&hydadcr=28529_14565773&mcid=0ddd5da5a26330c198dfc765e47d96a8&msclkid=81b0d0d827ca12a32b8db73d9f6cf554&tag=hydusmmsn-20&ref=pd_sl_1l5ih8o93t_e Edited Thursday at 08:46 PM by paul ron thibaultron 1

Gregory Posted Friday at 06:40 PM #8 Posted Friday at 06:40 PM I just figured out this device is not available for purchase yet. You who are interested might offer your suggestions to make it better. thibaultron 1 “Indecision may or may not be my problem.” ― Jimmy Buffett In Progress: HMS Resolution ( AKA Ferrett ) On Hold: Rattlesnake In the Gallery: Yacht Mary, Gretel, French Cannon
Kauz Posted Saturday at 12:31 PM #9 Posted Saturday at 12:31 PM There are some versions for 3d-printing. Would be plastics, however: https://www.thingiverse.com/search?q=Fractal+vise&page=1 thibaultron 1

No Idea Posted 13 hours ago #12 Posted 13 hours ago I really like things like this especially kickstarter projects. I think its got very good potential and fixing it to a mill would be a simple conversion or simply clamping it down. I've decided to back this project so I'll let you know in about 9 months whether it's come to fruition or not so thanks for sharing the project. thibaultron 1
