ANGLE AND TILTING VICE

SYNOPSIS ABSTRACT

In these modern days, the humans like to do all the works within a certain time with fast
and effectively. At the same time, the job should be fulfilling the requirement. The
drawbacks of earlier system are overcome the existing system. In the existing system, the
radial drilling machine can be used to drill the fixed job with higher efficiency. But it
cannot rotate or tilt the job at particular angle. These drawback are overcomes by
proposed system i.e the angle or tilting machine vice. By the use of swivel mechanism,
we can achieve the required angle. The proposed machine vice will be very useful to
these generation and future generation of peoples.
INTRODUCTION

A vise is a mechanical apparatus used to secure an object to allow work to be performed

on it. Vises have two parallel jaws, one fixed and the other movable, threaded in and out
by a screw and lever.
An engineer's vise is bolted onto the top surface of a workbench, with the face of the
fixed jaws just forward of its front edge. The vise may include other features such as a
small anvil on the back of its body. Most engineer's vises have a swivel base. Some
engineer's vises marketed as "Homeowner Grade" are not made of steel or cast iron, but
of pot metal.

Machine vises are mounted on drill presses, grinding machines and milling machines.
Abrasive chop saws have a special type of machine vise built in to the saw. Some
hobbyists use a machine vise as a bench vise because of the low cost and small size.

Types Of Vices:

Hand vises
Compound slide vises are more complex machine vises. They allow speed and
precision in the placement of the work.
Cross vises, which can be adjusted using leadscrews in the X and Y axes; these are
useful if many holes need to be drilled in the same workpiece using a drill press.
Compare router table.
Off-center vises
Angle vises
Sine vises, which use gauge blocks to set up a highly accurate angle
Rotary vises
Diemakers' vise
Saw vices used for sharpening hand saws

What Is Angle Or Tilting Vice?

An angle vice, also known as a tilting vice, is a machine vice that can tilt to set a clamped
workpiece up at an angle for machining.

Tilting Vice Project

Its key feature is that the main body of the vice can be adjusted up to a 90 degree angle,
while the base remains stationary on the machine's table. This tilt allows the user to place
the workpiece in the most convenient position for tasks including drilling, reaming or
milling.
Features:
Additional adjusted body support in horizontal position
Up to 90 angle of incline from the horizontal position
360 swivel base with ground contact edge and graduation
Thrust bearing in the power transmission enables easy operation.
Removable grooved jaw inserts are hardened and ground, ensuring longer life with
maintained accuracy and repeatability
Sturdy design of fully covered cast iron lead screw

Main Components of tilting Vice:

1. Jaws: A machine vice usually has hardened jaws which allow it to withstand the large
amount of force that comes with machining applications.
2. Screw :The screw is the part that is in control of opening and closing the jaws of the
vice.
3. Handle: machine vice commonly has a small crank handle which allows the user to
apply maximum clamping force when working, but without having to turn the handle
excessively. This is because the crank handle provides extra leverage when rotating,
meaning the screw can exert greater pressure onto the jaws but without any extra
effort from the user.
4. Base : Machine vices are often manufactured with a flat bottom base design which
fits firmly against the machine's table. This allows the vice to fit on the table in
horizontal alignment with the drill bit.
5. Swivel arrangement : Spherical or Rolling pair is needed to tilt both jaws in desired
angle .Fixed jaw has provided the swiveling attachment to tilt it without any extra
effort.
6. Locking Pins: Once desired angle is achieved movable jaw is fixed with help of
locking Pins.

Application Of Tilting Vice:

As an angle vice can be used to hold a workpiece for a number of tasks, including
drilling and milling, the vice can therefore be used in both drill press and milling
machines.
The tilting feature means the vice is ideal for creating angled or diagonal holes
through an object when drilling.
It is also useful for milling applications, such as making dovetail joints, as the vice
can be set to any desired angle, up to 90 degrees.
