Brush Ape Makes His Stand

NOT FAIR. I have one at the shop...and being ambidextrous helps.

I'll admit to being influenced by some of Mike's ideas.

My goal is a straight forward chain vise that can do four teeth on one side without being advanced, and with no movement or chatter. I make the plates gauge-specific. Beyond that it is just a variation on the theme from the one Oregon made in the '70s demonstrated here in some of Dennis Cahoon's pics:

BWaaaaaaaahhhaaaaaaaaaa !!!!!

(Purely in tribute to DC )

Great fab work.
I suppose now you'll have to make it with replaceable center plates of different thickness so you can size down to clamp .050 whenever you need.

Look closely, Chainsaws Jim. The corresponding step is let into the front plate based on gauge. I did it so the jaws would bite squarely with no tilt. So far though I've only made the front plates for .050 and .063. Smaller gauge, less step.

I didn't even consider a size range when I read the stamp on the side.
That's definitely better than extra pieces.

I'd like to have you make me one with my name stamped on it.

Either that bloke with the tat has got a really sick sense of humor (which I like) or he's a dumb-ass that really deserves that tat.

OK guys don't make me get the boss in here....next you'll be trying to make me feel bad by making fun of bald guys with one leg shorter than the other and a bunch of busted teeth who's only redeeming quality is he can lick his own eyebrows.
