And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
The machinist isn't going to be taking any deep cuts with that setup and I hope that section isn't at the final dimensions. If there is any slip the clamped surface will be badly scored.
Extend a line along the left edge of the upper and lower jaws and another line parallel to it where the inside radius of the jaw meets the beveled edge. The center of the jaw radius is about halfway between these two lines. It's close, but doesn't reach the work. He may be better off using a thinner, longer and softer shim, but maybe he's working with what he's got.
Most chucks are supplied with two sets of jaws, a wide one like in the pic and a narrow one for holding smaller work pieces. I looked at this pic and I heard the ringing of steel as it hit the floor. Al_in_Ottawa
reminds me of the time I was in a butcher shop and a butcher was cutting steaks with a band saw. He had big black gloves on probably mostly top protect him from the cold. I jokingly said, "how many fingers do you have under those gloves?" He took off one of the gloves and two of his fingers were missing.

ReplyDeleteThat IS sketcy!
ReplyDeleteThat’s just nuts.
ReplyDeleteThat's why they see soft jaws. Might be a weekend one off job on the fly.
ReplyDeleteThis is a joke. They could have adjusted those jaws down onto the work if they had wanted to.
