Recently, I had a few small projects where workpieces had to be machined from two sides. Until now, I had always solved this problem using the familiar method with dowel pins.
However, since there were several fairly small parts that could not be milled on a common plate, I decided to use a different manufacturing method.
This requires a centering vise, which has the great feature that the center between the clamping jaws always remains in the same position.
So if you can set the reference point in the Y direction to this position, all you need is a stop in the X direction. This will determine the center of the component.
I don’t know if everyone is already familiar with this method. That’s why I would like to briefly introduce it in the video.Unfortunately, I forgot to mention a possible correction to the Y position of the reference point in the video.
If a constant offset is always visible on the finished workpiece, the Y axis can be moved in the correct direction by this amount and the reference point can be reapplied.
I used a new system to create this video. It should be possible to select the language of the subtitles. Please let me know if this does not work.
