    Chevy V8 Scale Engine Plane

    I'm not sure you understood what I was saying. Just put a hole on location and put a plug in ant theen the correct thread size. You don't even have to clean up all the wrong hole as long as the one you put in on location has about 3/4 of the circumference. Ive corrected hole locations this way...

    Chevy V8 Scale Engine Plane

    Just drill a hole a couple thread sizes larger put a piece of ready rod in place with Locktite and mill or file flush to the engine block face then drill and tap the correct size in it. Its the same as using a threaded insert.

    Chevy V8 Scale Engine Plane

    Ok now I messed up LOL I was just going to say also I see new to the trade people tighten the crap out of a vise and over time it will ruin the vise. If you keep your part or material low in the vise just sticking up high enough to get the job done it isn't necessary to tighten the crap out of it.

    Chevy V8 Scale Engine Plane

    I was a Tooling engineer for about 25 years and about 15 years as a tool and die worker. You are very correct there is not anything perfect and for the most part I find that on most things if you are within .005 it is plenty good. But remember the smaller the part and engine the tighter the...

    Chevy V8 Scale Engine Plane

    Kurt NC vise will not flex under normal tightening. If the bottom of your vice is clean flat and parallel to the top and you table top is clean and flat with no dings and you clamp it down tight in 4 spots it will significantly be better. Unless your vise back jaw mounting block where it is...

    Chevy V8 Scale Engine Plane

    If you use a round stock on the movable side the lift of the movable jaw doesn't matter. The solid jaw has to be moving put the indicator on the back side of the solid jaw when tightening. If it moves then it is no longer perpendicular to the base which will make your part come out like you are...

    Chevy V8 Scale Engine Plane

    When using a piece of round stock use only 1 thin parallel up against the back jaw. Just tap the block down on the parallel don't hammer it to hard. After that for the next cut put the face you just milled against the solid jaw and do the same. If your jaw is within .0001 if you are real...

    Chevy V8 Scale Engine Plane

    If your back jaw is perfectly trammed in to 90 degrees to your machine head using the method I suggested you can get within .0005 fairly easy. You take the jaw lift totally out of play that way.

    Chevy V8 Scale Engine Plane

    Use a piece of small round stock on movable side when clamping that way your stock will set up against the solid jaw and it should take care of the movable jaw lift.
