G'day everyone,

In this video I will be making a simple tilt vise. I originally needed it as a part of the toolmakers vice project. I had to hold the part at a 45 degree angle, and simply holding it in the big vise was not an option. I could have made a custom fixture for the job, or made a sine plate, but I had an old vise lying about and I thought that I could use it to make a DIY tilt vice.

This tilt vice is intended for light work and drilling, and it won't be replacing the need for a proper sine vice in those instances where it is absolutely necessary. But for those small projects where an angle needs to be cut, it will be perfect, especially for us home machinists on a tight budget.
