Tarjack Posted January 21, 2014 Share #1 Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) what does the gross motor modeler if he wants to produce parts that are so small that it can no longer hold it in your fingers ?1 He curses : * ohnowhatthef............ *2 It clamps the part in the vise .......... a 10th of a second later .............. crunching ..............* ohnowhatthef........*3 He holds the part convulsively with the tweezers ............. 2 10ths of seconds later ............ pling ............ *sowhatthehel....*4 He reads this report carefully .................................For my mini-blocks at the Royal Yacht Caroline , I needed a device to the tiny blocks 2 x 3 x 1,78 mm (with wheels ! ) To process .The existing watchmaker Hand vices was too rough .......Take two strips pear wood 7.5 x 4 x 100 mm connect with screws At the ends of each milling a notch , filing, carving . The notch is adapted to clamp the workpiece , not crushed. Then prepare the workpiece Well , the workpiece can be processed (without crunching or pling ) And here is the result. A block 1.7 x 2 x 3 mm with washer Hand vices To prepare the Special I (incl. Search the screws, etc. ) used about 10 minutes Edited March 20, 2014 by Tarjack BANYAN, jml1083, Aussie048 and 11 others 14 Quote cheers Robert And when the workaholic grabs me, I sit quietly in a corner and wait until the attack is over Into dockyard: HMY Royal Caroline 1749 made from Bone 74 Gun-ship 1781 (engl.)
