Sherline Vise Work Stop
|
|
If you make multiples of the same part, having to re-register each work
piece is inconvenient. Having a stop to allow subsequent pieces to be
registered autmaticlly can be a real time saver. I seem to recall seeing
something similar in the past, but I couldn't find any other examples.

Drill Mounting Holes
I drilled a couple of 10-32 holes, one on each side of the vise. They're
1.25" from the bottom, and centered on the fixed jaw portion.

Parts laid out
Here are all of the parts laid out. The screws are 10-32 socket head
cap screws, with little plastic thumbscrew pieces pressed on. I picked these
ones up at my local fastener place. The aluminum piece started out from
a piece of 3/8" x 1/2" stock I had lying around. This piece wound up
being 1.56" long. The brass piece if 0.25" in diameter.

In Use
Here's an example of how the vise stop was intended to be used. I needed
to make 4 identical pieces, and each one needed to be center drilled and
then drilled. By using the work stop, once I set eveything up for the first
piece I was able to center drill all 4, and then change to the final drill
and drill all 4.
