How's the steel rod to vise fitting holding up? I also have a 30mm rod with two linear bearings and just want to be sure the connection will hold up to the clamping forces. I'll be using a 2.25" eastern maple slab for the vise.
Hello and thanks for watching. I can see why they did the angle. It could work. I didn’t want to do mine that only due to the stress I felt I might put on the shaft. I’m no expert, so I use a couple wedges in the floor for mine.
Hi! How is the clamping force with this setup? I see so many use the pin-style and the wedge-style, and say that it is critical in order to get proper clamping force. I really like your method, as long as it holds the work piece tight.
Thanks for watching. I did plane them to get them true. I had this material a while. It’s untreated wood So far it’s held up very well. I love it. Thanks again
Not really. I am able to clamp items but it does have a small bind if you really crank on it. I do use a wedge if I really want to clamp tighter as to not put undo stress on the linear shaft in the chop. Hope this helps and thank you for watching
Have you tried to take the black hollow pin out to see the construction of the vise? All Yost vises have the same serious problem: The screw part at the T-handle is smaller than the rest. So that the Thrust Plate (oval part) does not handle the clamping pressure but transfer this to the black hollow pin! Additionally, the black hollow pin handles the turning strength as well! The T-handle will pop right out when there is enough pressure! This is the design flaw. How to fix this? 1. Weld the T-handle to the Screw or take the hollow pin out and enlarge the holes on both T-handle and the Screw then use a solid steel rod to replace the hollow pin.
Word of advice to all you tubers. TURN OFFTHE DANG RADIOS AND TV’S in the background! Apparently Marty didn’t want to miss his favorite soap opera. Talk about a distraction for the viewers.
Thanks for watching Tim. Yes I wished I had turned it off. I didn’t even realize it was on until I did the video footage and well I wasn’t going to lose the video. I do like my Grit TV.
Very good instruction with follow up buy site. That lower bearing has always been a chore for wood workers. Thanks
Yes it has. I struggle with almost every project I do. lol. Thanks for watching
Outstanding. I was looking for a simple leg-vise without the expensive hardware for bench build. Great work!
Glad you like it! Same for me too.

Holding up great. I use it all the time.
Sweet, the ring on the extension was a great idea for holding level. Happy New year!
Yes. I saw that years ago and it works great. Happy new year to you guys.
Looks like it came out real good Marty.
Thanks a lot Jeff. It turned out great. Use it all the time and no issues
Glad I'm not the only person with gription issues
Thanks Marty! That looks like a great implementation.
It has and still being used almost every day. Love this.
Someone did that in another video and said the shaft should go in at a slight angle. Did you do it that way?

It works great. It clamps my items. I sometimes might use a wedge on the bottom but don’t think it’s needed.
Me gusta ver como hacen su trabajo
gracias. a mí también me gusta verlos
Were you able to use the 2x8s straight from the store or did you have to let them dry out for a while. Great leg vise. Thank you.

nice job
Thank you! Cheers!
Does the linear bearing make it pinless?
Not really. I am able to clamp items but it does have a small bind if you really crank on it. I do use a wedge if I really want to clamp tighter as to not put undo stress on the linear shaft in the chop. Hope this helps and thank you for watching
Did you just epoxy or wood glue the linear bearing shaft into the chop?
what did you use for the guide bar at the base? Thanks for sharing?
I used a 30mm linear bearing and shaft. You still need to use a wedge or something but it works great.
Marty, who makes that jointer? Mine has that wimpy aluminum fence. Can't find one that is 130 Volts with a cast iron fence.
Thanks

Mine was a craftsman. I since got a new one

Interesting. I’ll have to keep a watch out for that. Thank you for the advise. I didn’t know that.
How long is it??
Hand planes can take years to learn
Thank you. Yes, I learn from mine about each time I use it. Love the plane
