I couldn't find friction ratings of jaw materials, so I experimented with copper, aluminum and steel. Steel came out on top, withstanding roughly 1200lbs of pull out on our aluminum coupon. I don't know why steel is best, but I intend to find out. Thank you for helping me make these VJOs. Patrons get early access http://www.Patreon.com/AvE
Try a set of tetra gauges .They will give you accuracy in all ranges from 0 to 5000 psi

Ruminating. Prudence has had some effect on you, no doubt.
Never pull out till you're done.
There you have it I've had a baby pet gorrila in my last 4 vehicles she hates it why I say she says it's ugly ??
Look how innocent and unsullied the TPCNC is! If only it knew what lay ahead.
I think we all know by now to hold something in a vise you need it 3 times as tight as you would expect, thats why I don't bother with a fancy vise I just wait for the handle to bend
You don't have to tighten stuff too much really, especialy on aluminium since cutting forces aren't that great either. For this setup I wouldn't go beyond 20Nm or about 15 fp-lb.
Is it possible that there is some deformation of the aluminum by the steel jaws adding some level of mechanical resistance to the drag coefficient?
Wouldn't a metal that "galls" like Titanium provide more stiction AND friction? Especially compared to the metal Copper used in bearing alloys like brass/bronze.

Pedant here, just watching and waiting for a lovely error.
