One of the best hardware machining videos I have seen in a long time. Wasn't familiar with erowa and was not entirely sure how the angled tabs help keep the jaws from lifting up and still allowing good clamping if the male portion is say a bit undersized? I built a dovetail for aluminum machining to get all around the parts, works but the tab angles up. I've seen the 5th axis and raptor guys using some kind of dowel pins or t-slot tracks to hold it in place but like the idea of the angle tabs better. Machining another couple vises in the near future and luckily I don't have to make it zero point indexable but it needs to be about 4-5" tall because its on a 4th axis trunnion.

You do need to be pretty consistent with the width of dovetails. as the clamp tightens it bears down on the angled slope in the fixture as well, removing any play in the system

Hi Adam, such a great video. Its so great to be able to see your setups and your approaches to making parts and its not lost on me how much extra work goes into this for you. The subtleties I can pick up from these I just gold. I was left with a question after this video. I understand not biting onto the actual stock with the lang vise, but couldn't you use the dovetail feature of the lang gripper jaws on a similarly thick dovetail cut into the bottom of the copper? They have a 45° built into them right? I get this might be more bulky than the dovetail fixture you made, but I was curious. I've done this in the past and it 'seems' to work well, but can't really back it up with any data. I usually grip on dovetails that are 2mm tall, but don't see why 1.5mm couldn't work?

Have you considered annealing the work hardened copper that you purchase? It only needs to be heated to 500C and then allowed to cool slowly. To prevent oxidation, you can wrap is stainless steel foil. From the size of the parts in the video, a knife forge will work quite well. Just need to get one with doors. Many handheld electric test meters are available that can use a type K thermocouple for temperature monitoring.

That’s what does the actual locating. the rectangle slot are a bit under sized, when clamped the plate flexes away from the blades on the receiver/chuck . So you end up with zero looseness on the locators . Something like a dowel pin and bore needs a few tenths difference in size to come apart easily . So you have a balance between accuracy and ease of removal . The stamped plates are the best of both worlds

Hey adam, I usually machine parts out of duplex and super duplex, but every time I face them, these parts want to bow the other way around. They don't bow up as you have shown in the example with rubber bands, instead they "bend" up (or bow down). Can internal stresses want to stretch the material, instead of compress it? Have you encountered this problem? Cheers
@adamthemachinist
Жыл бұрын
I’ve had the opposite reaction like you speak of, and many other hard to predict bow and warping problems . Sometimes the the material can get a little bit of work hardening that contributes to odd things happening. Or maybe there’s a hit to much clamp pressure that overwhelms the part as it gets thinned out from machining .We apply best practices like stress relieving and sound machining strategies, but at the end of the day work that wants to warp is still a challenge.

@adamthemachinist

The dovetail and the upper flat part of the fixture are what make contact , the center flat section has a small amount of gap to ensure the widest part of the fixture is touching the stock. The dovetail size can vary a bit since the clamps can accommodate the size difference. I would look at commercial options like raptor workholding or 5th axis to get a deeper understanding

I don't do much copper. So you are saying the residual stress in copper is only on the skin and that the core is free of it? It would be worth pointing out that other materials like heat treated aluminum have stresses all the way to the core so that "skinning" it won't get rid of the stresses in those cases ex: 6061 T6. The stronger the material is, like 7075, the more residual stress it can sustain.
@adamthemachinist

It’s has some stress to the core, but the bulk is in the first 1/8 inch or less. Of course it can also work harden and do some odd things with stress that way to . If lead time allows I still like to stress relief . But roughing five sides then finishing is a nice alternative
