3-axis clamp

**bmr27** · Mar 6, 2016, 04:03 PM

Borring rainy sunday afternoon
so I decideed to use it to finish my clamp
something I started
prepared parts for assembling and put it on hold

so,here's a start
all parts on the table,even more then necesary
and,unavoidable cup of coffe

the base is 100x100 mm L-profile (4x4 inch) which has been milled to take out radius in the angle
and 15 mm thick peace of sheet 200x200 mm

I left hanges to cool out while I was driiling wholes and tapping threads
I decided to fit all joints by bolts
to avoid aany distosions that could be caused by welding,to keep it square

and...
as the psotos say to you
then I was drilling wholes and fitting stuff an I forgot to take more photos step by step
for down lock I used a 20 mm thread with peace of 40x40 mm box cut under 45 degrees
for uper lock it's a 16 mm thread
right hine has pin that easily goes in and out for easier unlocking

and that's it
I'd like to see your comments here

I was intrigued by the title of your project. Now that I see what it is I need to use you ideas. I have a cast iron 90 degree corner vise but was wondering how to add the vertical element. Thanks to you I see where I need go. Keep up the good thinkering.
