Her is my new project:
A vise with good precision I hope?
Started with some steel pieces and lathet them.
The axels is from a car (driveaxels).

Here I put a magnet from an old hard disk to take care of steel particles ...

The clearanse is 0,02 mm, but will be 0,1 mm I think?

I Have so many projects, sit I will work with this from time to time.
And the screw will be selfmade to ?

Some good ideas here?

Looks like a nice project. Keep us posted on your progress.

Thanks!
The problem is that the holes are not 100 percent to obtain 0.05 clearance between the movable ground and axles. My drill was not accurate enough. So here I must find a solution, or file the holes?
 
Thanks!
I have tried a reamer, but I think it (the parts) is/was a little out of line. My be I must try again, and use a dial indicator to set it up in the lathe.
Then I get more clearance, but it will may be OK?
 
I tried again. I turned the peaces around, lil card before the game, and used a reamer. Now I get the holes exactly on line!
And yesterday I made a screw i 7/8 " with 9 treads/inch. I had a tap on the same diameter, so I did not have to make inside tread in the wise.
So the project got a little bit longer..... But I had so many other thing to do, repear brakes on my Fiat Mobilhome, and in my sons Volvo, and in mine Renault Dauphine.
I am lucky to have bog enough lathe, so I could turn/refrech them. Also the brake disks in my Fiat.
I wil get som picture of it, if it is interesting?
 
Here is a picture of the screw mounted:

Now I am locking forward to fasten the steering bolts in the ends....

I assume you mean the two unthreaded rods as the steering bolts? Not sure of the term. If so, I would just loctite them in and not worry about it. If they loosen over time, you could drill through and attach a retaining bolt.
 
Thanks! I have bored in one end of the two unthreaded rods, an was thinking of some bolts? Retaining bolts?
I don't think Locktite will hold, since there is 0,02-0,03 mm clearanse?


 
You could make a female thread on the end of the rod and have a screw through the block that holds it in from the end. That doesn't sound like too big of a gap for loctite.
