Bench Vice Assembly

Designing a straightforward Bench Vice in Fusion 360 involves several steps to ensure functionality and durability. The first step is to create the vice's base plate by extruding a rectangle, which will serve as the foundation for the entire design. Next, add two vertical pillars to the base plate by using the "Push/Pull" tool or the " Extrude" tool. These pillars will support the vice's jaws and provide stability to the overall structure. To create the vice's jaws, use a combination of the "Rectangle" and "Extrude" tools to shape the desired jaw profile. The jaws should be positioned perpendicular to the base plate and securely attached using the "Loft" tool or the "Sweep" tool. Add two screws on either side of the vice's base plate to secure the jaws in place, ensuring a snug fit between them. This will provide a stable grip when clamping objects. Now that the basic components are in place, add some finishing touches by creating a handle for the vice using the "Extrude" tool or the "Push/Pull" tool. This will make it easier to operate the vice and provide a comfortable grip for the user. Finally, use the "Loft" or "Sweep" tools to create a smooth transition between the jaws and the base plate, ensuring that objects are securely held in place without any obstructions. With these steps completed, you now have a functional Bench Vice design in Fusion 360 that can be used for various tasks and projects.
