I've been tinkering with Fractal Vise designs for a while, but most of what I've focused on to date have been attempts at making flexure-based versions. But I recently decided it might be fun to try my hand at some mechanical bearing variants.
My main goal for this one was for a low cost, easy to assemble version of everyone's favorite adaptive vice (ok, I can't confirm that "favorite" claim, but I'll still stand by it).
Although there's certainly still room for improvement, I'm really pleased with how well this little guy works!
