Holding tool for holding small parts

[Tarjack]

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

Great idea.  The human mind is capable of creating many things.

seems the home build tools are usually the best. Nice idea, thanks for sharing.
