I've started building some machines

That's some good stuff bro. If you don't mind, I just want to offer a small tip. On the first picture with the bigger flywheel where you have it milled flat for the grub screw, that is gonna add more vibration which is unnecessary. Its best to leave it how it was or mill it off from the same side where the nipple is to balance out the flywheel more to reduce vibration. It doesn't matter too much as the vibration is probably not too much anyways but just thought I'd offer that tip. I was in your shoes more than 10 years ago. Angle grinder changed my life. That vise design is clever and the machine looks well made. Definitely better work than I was doing 2 years in. Good job and keep at it bro.

Thanks for the kind words.
I did the flywheel that way only because i needed to drill the hole for the screw that will retain the bearing in it's place and the only drill bit that i had was a center drill, obviously the center drill was too short and the only way to make the hole go all the way through was to mill away some of the material.
It was an improvisation for the lack of tools.

The material and the tools i use is not what i would love to use for the building of the machines but it's what i have and i have to build everything around these limitations.
