Hey guys, welcome back to Metal Tips and Tricks. Why don't we align our milling machine vices more often? And I think the real answer is because we think it's complicated and it's a lot of work. Well I want to show you how to align your vices in less than 60 seconds. Actually, it's usually quite a bit faster than that. But just for safety, let's just say 60 seconds. Now, I've already loosened up my vices and you can see I'm on a rotary base. That really doesn't matter because the rotary base just gives me a lot more room where the slots itself, the T slots, have enough flexibility to do what I'm trying to show you. I've already got my Mitsutoyo Test Indicator into place. This one is accurate to a half a thousand. So every mark on here represents a half a thousandths of movement. So it's a very detailed gauge. My next step what I want to do is get a hammer, of course, to move this vice. And I'm going to show you here is where we simplify the process. First of all, what I want to do is I'm going to knock the vice out of alignment. And now I know that it's out of alignment this way and that I need to hit it with the hammer on this side. And here is the cool trick is we're going to turn on the power feed to move this vice across. As it's moving, we're going to tap on it. Now we don't care where the needle stops. We just need it to stop. So let me show you. See the needle moving? And I'm just going to tap on it until the needle stops moving. Now if the needle starts moving in the other direction, right now it's moving in a clockwise direction for this indicator in the way I'm set up. If it starts moving counterclockwise, I know I need to tap on it a little bit this way. There we go. Let's go back and see. I'm going to actually zero this out. And let's see how consistent it is. So there we are. That is accurate to within a half a thousand over six inches. That is a tramned vice. And you can see how quick, how simple it is to do that. So if you guys like hints and tips like this, give me some thumbs up. Also please leave your positive comments and don't forget to subscribe.

So every time I upload a video, you get notification in your email because I am uploading videos about twice a week right now. There's always like this one here on Friday. But there's been a consistent group on Wednesday lately, which I call Q&A, talking about the video I did on Friday. So hopefully I'm going to be able to keep that up. All right, guys. Until next time, go out in a shot, build something cool. Thanks.
