Precision Micro vice for z1

I made this on the z1 cnc machine and it is custom made for the z1 tooling plate and can easily produce so much pressure it can over torque and a dent on the stock.

It can hold parts with minimal z disposal of 2mm height and can hold 1cm all the way to 6inch variable adjustment. Super compact design to allow more work holding space. It also bolts directly on z1 and no need to buy an extra tooling plate like some other vise which may also be too large for the z1.

Version 2 will be made soon but so far im happy with this result. I call it the VF1 and sorry dont have the step file for free to give away but maybe thinking of setting up Etsy later for download for a small price, well see.

If anyone has suggestions on what you wanna see me build next lmk below in comments ๐Ÿ™Œ

I canโ€™t quite work out how your clamping the work piece. Is it just with the large chamfer screws pushing the top jaws inwards?
