## Summary
This is the second iteration of a 3D printable Vice made by Machinist Extraordinaire, [This Old Tony](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5NO8MgTQKHAWXp6z8Xl7yQ) recently put out a video on a cool vice design that I wanted to recreate. Now This Old Tony is a master of metal, and I just play with plastic. So, making a Vice from plastic that is operational is no easy task, but I think that this version is fully functional and strong enough to hold anything that will fit in its jaws. It is mechanically very simple and relies on a long rod with right-hand threads (clockwise) on one side and left-hand threads (counter-clockwise) on the other side. So, when the shaft is spun it causes the clamps to advance in opposite directions and at the same rate. This mechanism means that your workpiece is always dead center in the vice, and no matter the position of the clamps the vice takes up the same amount of area.
