There is something I do not understand as I go through various shops owned by associates. You see a lot of machine operators putting a part in the vise, tighten and then beating it down. I just don't get this. I have my own CNC shop and I NEVER do this and I have never done it in over 40 years in machine shop. I'll adjust the vise (Kurt) cut the jaws, put the part in and will work easily within .0005" all day long. I have never had an issue. Beating the parts down has to have an affect on the jaw alignment, ya think? These guys that do this remind me more of blacksmiths, not precision machinists.
