DIY vise: we create different types of clamping devices. 64 photo ideas for different purposes
Locksmith's vice is a necessary equipment in the workshop of any man, without which it is difficult to do in one or another type of work.
It is not at all necessary to place them in the garage; you can equip a corner for a vice at home, for example, using a table or an ordinary stool for this.
When processing or sharpening any part, it is necessary to firmly and reliably fix it, that is, hold it in a certain position. The vise photo shows the principle of operation of this equipment.
The design of the joinery vice includes:
- undercarriage screw;
- handle;
- movable and fixed jaw;
- support plate.
All types of vise are divided into two types:
- non-rotary ones have a simpler design and the easiest way to make them yourself. The part is fixed strictly in one position.
- rotary vise is most often adapted for drilling on a machine. When working, it is possible to rotate the workpiece without unclamping it.
If the work will be carried out with small-sized parts, you should not increase financial costs and make compact small vise.
A small vice with a ball joint base is useful on the farm for processing very small parts that can be clamped individually. These are mini-vices with suction cups installed on a glass or well-polished surface. But they are suitable for rare frivolous work.
A vice without a rotary mechanism will significantly save money, unless, of course, it is useful in work.
Carpenter's vice, independently made at home, will significantly save the family budget at times than their ready-made "brothers" in the store. And a huge plus is that the product can be made according to personal preferences and for certain individual types of work.
It is absolutely easy to find material for the construction, it can be: a part of a technical pipe, a used jack, old lathes, presses, etc.
And if you go to the metal collection point, there will undoubtedly be a suitable part for the vice, which will cost you a penny.
There are many variations of vise, but the most popular and traditional is the steel material type. Such a vice will be much more reliable than factory-made purchased ones.
The structure consists of:
- a plate of steel at least 3 mm., but it can be much thicker;
- external and internal channel (120 and 100 mm.);
- ears made of steel;
- lathe cutters 2 pieces;
- a small piece of reinforcement (a rod for a gate);
- nut (2 pieces), hairpin or screw of a certain diameter, which corresponds to the bar;
- washer (2 pieces) of the same diameter with a lead screw;
- screw pair 335 mm;
- a thick plate is required to secure the propeller undercarriage.
The handle should also be collapsible on one side, and on the other side it should be welded with a nut. A nut with a channel from the screws must be welded to the flush plate. To make the channel inside with the screw easier to move on the move, it is recommended to lightly process it with a file.
Such a homemade vise allows you to handle larger parts.
To perform work in a home workshop, it is recommended to choose the simplest non-rotating vice for the machine.
