I would like to creating the tool path for drawing attach. I am strangling with creating separate operation for the one side then other. I would be glad if somebody would guide me thorough this. Particularly haw to create different plane for both side and machining slopes and chamfers on the "top"side.

Here is something I did for you to look at.

 

Sorry I did it in X7. Next week I will take it down so hopefully you can download it before I take it down.

 

Download removed. Email me if you would like a copy of the file I did with HST Toolpaths and other things done.

File - Merge - select vise or clamp file. Move to new level and xform - translate into position.

You need to have the solid file of YOUR vise and or clamps already. Select these models from the directory that you have them saved in.

 

Once you have merged your files then translate where needed.

Do I have to draw them(clamps or wise) or maybe I can download them from somewhere?

Your choice. Downloading is easiest.

 

Most guys will have a library of thier fixtures (clamps, jigs and or vises) that they can merge when needed.

 

Same if you are adding motors, bearings, fastners etc.

Do you have any tips for sides where can I downloaded this fixtures. What type of file should I looking for?

The fixtures are related to the shop that you are working in. I might have Brand X vices in multiple sizes here but the shop next door has Brand A vices in one size only. Same for clamps and any fixtures.

 

Most vise companies have models available but it should be the one you are intending on using. It is not necessary to have these in your drawing, you only need them if clearance is an issue.

 

Are you still attending Georgian College? The instructor there should be more then capable of answering these questions.
