Jumbo pin plates for vises

Sam · Jun 18, 2014

Aaron McMichael is making a really nice set of pin plates that fit GRS engraving vises. If you're engraving large items, this could be a great solution for hard-to-hold articles. They are beautifully machined with standard size pin holes. He also makes one with through-holes for molding items with Thermo-Loc.

The standard Jumbo Pin Plate sets are $175 and the Thermo-Loc model is $250, and they will fit the GRS Magnablock, Low Profile Vise, and Positioning Vise. They will not fit the GRS Standard Block.

For more info email Aaron directly at aaron.mcmichael@gmail.com

Nice! When you think you have everything you might need someone comes out with this. ..

That would be cool if the holes were taped to 10-32 thread.

Todd,

Buy the blanks from him and drill & tap them yourself for pretty much anything ya want...

I have some about that size on a vise I used to use for western buckle engraving, but back then brass wasn't so expensive!

Does anyone know if this is compatible with the Letourneau 45lb vise?

I own a LeTourneau and the GRS tops will fit, but not quite perfectly.

You'd have to thump fairly hard on the double pin side to get it seated.

Which means you are not going to easily remove it - once it's jammed in there.

You could probably relieve the pins enough with a sanding stick to overcome that...???

I'm fairly sure that Aaron McMichael would entertain an offer if you wanted a special set made?

It's only a few thousandths off. All that can happen is that he says yes... or he says no...

Write him, offer to send him your bottom jaws and ask.

Brian

It may also be that I have an odd LeTourneau? They were, after all, not produced by the thousands...

Thanks Brian!!! :happyvise:

Yes, if I had the jaw for measurement I could do it.

Pistol barrel holding attachment

This is the latest up date on the Jumbo pin plates. Holds 3" to 7" pistol barrels up to .45 cal. $250.00 for the set.

GRS tops will fit perfectly on my LeTourneau so it may vary from vise to vise.

Mine would have to be forced... and then pried out.

They weren't made in a typical factory - so it's quite likely there's a little variation.
