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.
Fabrication of the tilting and angle machine vice can be operated by using
mechanical linkage such as bevel gears and shaft. By the use of swivel arrangement,
we can achieve the rotation motion. And with the help of nut and screw
arrangement, we can achieve the required angle. The proposed machine vice will be
very useful to these generation and future generation of peoples.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
In this concept the tilting vice is very useful in drilling machine, milling
machines, grinding machines etc.., This is the small machine attachments which we
have designed specially for all machine. By this attachment we can do lot of
operation in different machine. Some complicated components needs differed type
of drilling holes and milling operation. So designing the separate fixture for holding
in such machines is much cost. So this tilting vice attachments shows the most
important in machines. Vices usually have one fixed jaw and another, parallel, jaw
which is moved towards or away from the fixed jaw by the screw.
Types
Without qualification, "vise" usually refers to a bench vise with flat, parallel jaws,
attached to a workbench. There are two main types: a woodworking vise and
engineer's vise. The woodworker's bench vise main characteristic is its integration
into the bench. An engineer's bench vise is usually clamped or bolted onto the top of
the bench.
Woodworking vises
For woodworking, the jaws are made of wood, plastic or from metal, in the latter
case they are usually faced with wood to avoid marring the work piece. The top
edges of the jaws are typically brought flush with the bench top by the extension of
the wooden face above the top of the iron moveable jaw.

This jaw may include a dog hole to hold a bench dog. In modern metal
woodworkers' vises, a split nut is often used. The nut in which the screw turns is in
two parts so that, by means of a lever, it can be removed from the screw and the
moveable jaw can be quickly slid into a suitable position at which point the nut is
again closed onto the screw so that the vise may be closed firmly onto the work.

A small machine vise used in a drill press
An engineer's vise, also known as a metalworking bench vise or fitter's vise, is used
in metalworking applications. The jaws are made of soft or hard metal. The vise is
bolted onto the top surface of the bench with the face of the fixed jaws just forward
of the front edge of the bench. The bench height should be such that the top of the
vise jaws is at or just below the elbow height of the user when standing upright. The
vise may include other features such as a small anvil on the back of its body.
The nut in which the screw turns may be split so that, by means of a lever, it can be
removed from the screw and the screw and moveable jaw quickly slid into a suitable
position at which point the nut is again closed onto the screw. The disadvantage to
this system is lower precision, as compared to a solid screw system. Vise screws are
usually either of an Acme thread form or a buttress thread. Those with a quick-
release nut use a buttress thread. Some vises have a hydraulic or pneumatic screw,
making setup not only faster, but more accurate as human error is reduced
For large parts, an array of regular machine vises may be set up to hold a part that is
too long for one vise to hold. The vises' fixed jaws are aligned by means of a dial
indicator so that there is a common reference plane.
For multiple parts, several options exist, and all machine vise manufacturers have
lines of vises available for high production work:
The first step is a two clamp vise, where the fixed jaw is in the center of the vise
and movable jaws ride on the same screw to the outside.
4
The next step up is the modular vise. Modular vises can be arranged and bolted
together in a grid, with no space between them. This allows the greatest density
of vises on a given work surface. This style vise also comes in a two clamp
variety.
Tower vises are vertical vises used in horizontal machining centers. They have
one vise per side, and come in single or dual clamping station varieties. A dual
clamping tower vise, for example, will hold eight relatively large parts without
the need for a tool change.
Tombstone fixtures follow the same theory as a tower vise. Tombstones allow
four surfaces of vises to be worked on one rotary table pallet. A tombstone is a
large, accurate, hardened block of metal that is bolted to the CNC pallet. The
surface of the tombstone has holes to accommodate modular vises across all four
faces on a pallet that can rotate to expose those faces to the machine spindle.
New work holding fixtures are becoming available for five-axis machining
centers. These specialty vises allow the machine to work on surfaces that would
normally be obscured when mounted in a traditional or tombstone vise setup.
Jaws

There are two main types of jaws on engineer's vises: hard and soft. Hard jaws are
available with either a coarse gripping surface or are ground flat and smooth to
5
increase accuracy. The latter relies on pressure for gripping, instead of a rough
surface. An unskilled operator has the tendency to over-tighten jaws, leading to part
deformation and error in the finished workpiece.
Soft jaws are usually made from a soft metal (usually aluminum), plastic, or wood.
They are used to either hold delicate workpieces or cut to hold specifically shaped
workpieces. These specifically cut jaws are often used in place of fixtures and most
commonly used in gang operations. They are also used for rapid change-over type
set-ups since they can be easily engraved with the part number, the job number, or
other information relevant to the job being run. Soft jaws are considered a
consumable item, because they are discarded or recycled after multiple uses.
Others
hand vises
machine vises - drill vises (lie flat on a drill press bed). Vises of the same
general form are used also on milling machines and grinding machines.
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 lead screws 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' vises
pin vises (for holding thin, long cylindrical objects by one end)
jewellers' vises and by contrast

leg vises, which are attached to a bench but also supported from the ground
so as to be stable under the very heavy use imposed by a blacksmith's work.
3.1 General
A vice is most common device used to hold work, for carrying out
various operations, due to its quick loading and unloading capability. It may be
fitted on a work-bench (table) or on a machine table. These are named accordingly
as Bench Vice and Machine Vice respectively. For light duty work a small vice may
also be held by hand. Such a vice is called Hand Vice. Provision is made in the
design of each vice to adjust the distance between its jaws for accommodating
different sized jobs. Usually a screwed pair is used for this purpose.
2. Movable Jaw: It slides on the ways of casting and is operated with a screw
or spindle.
3. Screw: It gives the movable jaw the forward or backward movement and to
do so it is rotated by a handle known as screw bar.
4. Casting: It constitutes the base of the vice and has ways for the movable
bar.
7
But in case of carpentry vice, it is mainly designed specially for wooden jobs to
facilitate operations such as shaping or cutting off to length.
CLAMPING:
Clamping elements hold the work piece firmly engaged with the locating
elements during operation. The clamping system should be strong enough to
withstand forces developed during operation. At the same time, the clamping force
should not dent or damage the work piece. Speed of operation, operator fatigue and
strategic positioning are other important considerations for contriving a clamping
system.
Position:
The clamping system should not obstruct the path of loading and unloading of
the work piece. The clamps in the path of loading should be retractable or swinging
type so that the clamps can be withdrawn or swung clear of the path of loading and
unloading of the work piece.
Clamps should not obstruct the path of the cutting tool. They should not get
drilled, milled or welded during operation.
Strength:
The clamping system should be capable of holding the work piece security
against the forces developed during operation. The clamping force should not dent
or damage the work piece with excessive pressure. For clamping weak or fragile
work pieces, the clamping force should be distributed over a wider area of the work
8
piece. While clamping soft work pieces, clamps should be fitted with pads of softer
materials, such as nylon or fibre to prevent damage and denting of the work piece.

Position pin is used to fix the angle of vice. In our project we have fabricated one
set of arrester, with the help of fasteners we can fix them.
3.7. HANDLE
This is a lengthy cylindrical rod which is inserted to the head of the screwed
rod. It is used for rotating the screw rod in clock wise or in antilock direction.
15
To assemble the unit, the screw rod and guide rod are inserted into
Fixed jaws and movable jaws through the holes which are already drilled.
The handle head at the screw rod is inserted with the handle rod and the guide rods
are arrested using M6 bolts. The other end of the screw rod and guide rods are
arrested at the screw arrester using M6 bolts through the holes drilled by tapping
process. The movable jaw is integrated with attached using M20 nut. When the
handle rod is rotated which attached to the screwed rod the movable jaw moves
slides forward over the rod and now the job is fixed between the jaws. When the
handle is rotated in the opposite direction the jaw moves backward and tightens the
job. The movement of the jaw is mainly depends on the rotation of the handle in the
clockwise or anticlockwise direction.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

CHAPTER IV
WORKING PRINCIPLE
A machine vice usually has hardened jaws which allow it to withstand the
large amount of force that comes with machining applications. The screw is the part
that is in control of opening and closing the jaws of the vice. 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.
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. Spherical or Rolling pair is needed to tilt
both jaws in desired angle .Fixed jaw has provided the swivelling attachment to tilt
it without any extra effort. Once desired angle is achieved movable jaw is fixed with
help of locking Pins.
