The genius of the adaptive jaw vise! Check out how cool this is in real time. I made this acrylic plate so I could watch the jaws displace the steel ball bearings. Every grab is slightly unique and it’s really cool to watch. I also discovered two set screws on the side that lock the jaws in place for repeatable grabs. I’m restoring this vise back to its former glory as we speak! #make #vise #antique #machineshop #metalshop #maker #handmade #rare #makeeverything #unique #engineering | Make Everyt
