And last but not least, a barrel vice. Made out of 2x1.5" cold rolled steel, this is a hunk of metal! Fairly simple project as it was mostly drilling holes on a mill. Of course the bolt holes had to be tapped (16x.2mm). The two parts were then assembled with a .125 shim between them. You really have to crank the bolts down for this one! After that, the front hole was step drilled on a lathe and finished by boring it out to 1.75". I changed to a carbide boring bar during the process as I was getting a lot of chatter from the HSS bar I was using. Once I removed the chatter marks, I was slightly over size but it is not critical in this project.
Final grade: 97. The instructor commented on how well I removed all the burrs and sharp edges from the pieces.
