Hi Guys
We want to make a few of these Harold Hall designed Clamps. Specifically the ones Second and Third from Right as in the picture.
What we'd like to know is which design will be the ones generating the greatest torque ???
Material we will use will be hardenable Tool Steel.
However, would it be necessary to harden these given that they would have enough mass and be quite bulky anyway ???
We intend using these for Machining Steel on our Bridgeport clone. Guess U Guys are more familiar with required sizes there.
We looked at some Vertex production ones which were 45 mm in length with a height of 30 mm and the "T" Height we like as 10 mm
Hawkeye used a 15 Degree Angle to make his, which we will also stick to for the gradient as well as drilling and Threading for the SHCS.
And would 8 mm Grub screws and Socket Head Caps be sufficient for generating ample hold-down force ???
Would immensely appreciate U Guys suggestions and recommendations here.
Thanks a zillion in advance
