Made a divot in my vise!

[Black Forest]

I was trying to figure out how to make a chamfer around a pocket I milled today on my newly converted CNC mill. I was glad I used an old vise to get familiar with this CNC'ing! Somehow I messed up my tool offset and it plunged down a little too deep! I got it figured out but on the next try I dialed down the feedrate considerably as the tool neared the top of the part.

I've done that! And I had less excuse, because it was a manual mill.

You should be able to buff that out, no worries

It is a tool. And meant to be used.

We all love nice, new, shiny tools, but they are for use.

Buy or make a new vise jaw if you wish, but, beyond that, don't worry about it.

Clumsy Bastard...

At least the original divot now has a new friend!

No worries, looks like that jaw is removable and replaceable.

Just take the jaw out and flip it over.

...We all love nice, new, shinny tools, but they are for use...

They make a tool for awkwardly climbing things?

shinny - how you climb a pole or rope; also a frequent misspelling of...
shiny - nicely polished
shiney - not a word

It makes you human. It will serve as a reminder in future operations. Don't worry, we all have some kind of hickey, either in our vises or in our hearts. Welcome to the world of programming.

Like teachers in the old days: go sit in the corner and think of what you’ve just done lol!🤓

Good thing it is a crappy vise and not a good one. My friend just rammed my 2019 Honda Odyssey into a boat trailer backing up to it, put a big huge dent in the tail gate and took off paint... We are about to turn this Honda in for a different vehicle, probably a Tundra... **** happens!

[RB140]

At least it wasn't a new vice or your hand or worse

It happens to the best of us
Better luck next time

Looks like clearance to me

You could take the jaw out and cut a deep vertical V groove for holding round stock in the vertical position.
