making vise clamps on the milling machine

Step 1: The design

The bottom surface of the vise's clamping slot is about 0.595 inch above the table, and the top surface of the clamping slot is about 0.300 inch above the bottom surface.

I'm making the clamps from some scrap angle iron. The stock is 0.25 inch thick. Each side is about 2 inches long (from the outside corner of the angle to the end of the "leg").

Additional stuff that's needed that I'm not making is a T-nut, a flange nut, and about 2 inches of 3/8-16 threaded rod.

Any chance you could convert the drawing to a PDF? I'm trying to post your project to my site (projectsinmetal.com) and I'd like to include a PDF copy of the drawing for viewers that don't have CAD software.

Thanks in advance,

Tyler

I added a pdf version of the drawing to step 1, "the design".
