What in everyone using for vises on their Dyna Mechtronic mills?
I'm using a single import 6" CNC vise right now. I used to have two of them but there wasn't enough room to have material outside the vise jaws so I removed one. I'm thinking of switching to a double 6" Kurt vise mounted sideways to fit more stuff into the work envelope. Anyone use one like that before? Is it a pain to have to tighten the vise on the side vs in front of you?

Timothy, can you show this from another angle? I can not figure out what I am seeing? It looks like the 2 import vises from the upper picture are now below the table? Somehow it looks like you have 2 vises holding a double jaw vise on the table. It looks like it is coming up behind the table and would interfere with full Y travel. It must be an illusion.
Yea, I know. Bad photoshop. Paint actually, I don't have Photoshop...
The handles are leftover that I didn't edit out.
The vise I'm looking at buying is the Glacern 6" double vise.

Or the Kurt 6" double vise. I'm not sure which one yet.

So do you really have a Dyna Mill? Sure that is not "created with paint"? Good looking parts on that mill being edited? Cant trust anything anymore. LOL Glad to know it was a fake image. I was having some kind of problem trying to figure out those vises were clamping the table. Are the chips "paint" also?Originally Posted by 2ferrous

Maybe I should just build my fantasy machine on Photoshop/Paint. If I could make a virtual mill or lathe maybe I would be satisfied and think how much I would save! So much more room in the garage, no chips to clean up, no broken end mills. Too funny.
Can you comment on how best to lock these vises down to the table? I have 2 6" vises I got with my machine, and am using a generic clamping set to hold it in place, and I don't like it!!! Are there vise-specific clamps that use less table space or something? I hate that they are clamp down and don't have the bolt tab holes...
I took both of my 6" vises apart and drilled some holes in the base to match the slot spacing on my table. I then fastened them down with flat head bolts and t-slot nuts. A custom made alignment keys hold everything square.
I'll take some pictures tomorrow and post them up.

Would love to see those pix. I don't get why they make vises like this... With the clamps they just take up too much space!
Dont trust Tim, he is probably using "paint" to create the vise picture you want to see! JK
