review basics of vices.

In this video,
00:05
we'll describe the various parts of advice and identify
00:08
the height of stock and the use of parallels,
00:13
advice is one of the most common ways to hold stock to be machined in a mill.
00:17
There are many variations out there, but at the end of the day,
00:19
they all do the same thing.
00:21
Hold your stock to be machined.
00:23
Let's take a minute to talk about some parts of advice
00:25
and some basic surrounding the use and maintenance of them.
00:29
The main parts we want to understand will be the fixed jaw,
00:31
the floating jaw and the screw and handle.
00:36
We also want to talk a bit about parallels that
00:39
get our stock to the correct height and stops that help
00:41
us position the part accurately when setting up a coordinate system
00:45
in a machine referred to commonly just as G- 54.
00:49
We will generally reference the back left corner of
00:51
the part as it sits against the fixed Jaw.
00:54
CNC machines can repeat tool paths with great accuracy,
00:57
but if it doesn't have a good reference, it really won't matter.
01:01
Parallels are used to help provide a raised surface for stock to rest on,
01:04
so that a tool has adequate clearance to machine
01:08
and parallels come in different heights and styles such
01:11
as ones that snap into the jaws of advice.
01:14
We could also create custom soft jaws that will replace
01:16
these hardened jaws and hold parts with complex shapes.
01:20
The handle on.
01:21
The vice will move the sliding or floating jaw into clamp are part
01:25
and now that we've seen and can identify the basics of advice,
01:28
let's move on to how a vice relates to a vertical CNC mill.
