Kev Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Curious who's built one and what would they do different if doing again? I have the BC hardware and I'm thinking of moving it up on my list of builds.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkinneb Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I built one a few years back and like it. I use it on the back of my Roubo is the clamp version. The only thing I don't like is taking it on and off so I am thinking about building a new top for my other bench and build the moxon on the end and then putting a pattern makers vise on it. That bench has the Noden adjustable legs so I can get it up as high as it is now on the top of the Roubo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 Well, this one is in the books! Pretty happy to have a vise at the assembly table! I strayed from BC's plans on a couple points.. I made the back longer for more of a foot to clamp I chamfered the front for "saw room" if I'm doing 1/2 blinds or something like that. I do wish I'd of cleaned up that maple fuzz on the bottom left....lol 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodenskye (Bryan) Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 So watched the video, vise came out great. Every time I see someone chisel out a nut, I always have the same question pop in my head. Would it be possible to use a HCM instead of a chisel. I have no idea why this question enters my brain, I’m strange I know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea why this question enters my brain, I’m strange I know. For part of it, yes. The issue is rotating a large work piece around in the HCM vise. You could do it if you removed the vise and did it free hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkinneb Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 if at all possible you also want support on both or neither sides of a HCM bit, that would be tough to do after the first plunge with a nut shape 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally own the strange inter workings of my brain! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
