Shoe Arching Fixture
 

Just purchased a Ammco Shoe Grinder. Would like to make the holding fixture plates that I have seen pictures of. Anyone with a sketch or information they are willing to pass on.

You'll get the idea from the photos,....Ammco made 3 types of machines,
which model number do you have?

I looked up your model 8000 in the manual,...it has a different clamping system
than the 880. I suspect they should be close.
My plates measure,....1/8" X 1.75" X 7.25". The pins are 5/16" X 5/8".

Does this help?

Thank you dj for your reply. On your 880 do you have a consistent way of mounting the plates to your machine? Should I consider adding the holes to match the lower clamp pins?

Okay,....I see where your going.

Yes, with the plates, it's consistent.
In the Ammco manual,..it states too center the shoe in the clamp.
I couldn't do that because the "pins" were right on the edge of
the holes,...it wasn't giving even clamping on the shoe. See the
photo with the black dots. That's why I made the plates.
Post, if you can, a photo(s) of your clamp / shoe set-up if your
having problems.
