Damages during project.

[timo_gross]

Mmh, no one to complain to so just post it on the forum?

I started noting down how many tools I break during my built project. It is a little frustrating how clumsy I am......

Not a highly expensive item, and now I know they are made from cast iron.
And now I do not have a matching pair anymore.



So it was a mistake to clamp it off center or it was long term abuse.

That is a bummer.
I hate when that happens.
I hang my broken stuff on the "learning wall".

If the remaining Vee block is a little bit longer than the height of your milling vice jaws, cut it off so it matches the vice jaws and you will have a very handy tool for milling work on the end of short round stock.. t may recu e the pain a little bit.

Hello,

No it is too small to match the vice jaws, but I could make it nice and square and use a parallel under it. Good: I did not dump it into the scrap bin yet.

Greetings.

It was a Vee block to clamp round into a vise. Not a precision ground one but more the drill press easy type. They come as a matching pair.
