What happens here

The discussion shifts to another key design feature: the 'completely boxed slide.' The designer explains that unlike conventional vises which often use a less robust C-channel, the Fireball Hardtail design creates a full rectangular box structure for the slide mechanism. He demonstrates this by pulling a metal bar through the vise, showing how the full enclosure enhances the vise's structural integrity, making it significantly stronger and more resistant to bending or breaking.

Goal: Illustrate the strength of the boxed slide mechanism

Tools and materials

  • Fireball Hardtail Vise — Demonstrating the boxed slide
  • Metal Bar — To demonstrate the movement within the boxed slide

What they say

So, that it's really smooth and easy to turn. There's no binding motion. Most of the time this nut is attached to the base right here. >> Okay. >> And with this because we're pulling from the back, now we can have a completely boxed slide instead of a C channel. So, because we have a now we have a full rectangle as you can see, we pull this out.
