milling vice restoration
mattinker:
It doesn't look like too big a hole, how about drilling it out tapping and putting a steel plug in it? The two smaller holes could also be fixed this way.

It goes blacker with age One of the half bits got knocked off last week lasted over five monthes .

Thanks Jeff - yes that looks rather like the table on on my Bridgeport. Still functional though :thumbup:

While I was waiting for paint to dry on the die filer I had a potter about with the vice. I decided to mill a pocket and Loctite a piece to fit. Here is the result. In hidsight I should have just made the pocket square, this would have saved a lot of effort. the other smaller holes are filled with epoxy metal. The bit was a light press fit on the width and height so with the Loctite I don't think it will go anywhere.
Once the adhesives are dry I will skim it and scrape it all flat. I got to use my new tool that arrived in the post this morning. Anybody else use a similar endmill/face mill? It worked well in cast Iron. BTW the equally crusty vice in the picture is the one for the AEW mill.

This may be of interest to some looking at cast iron repair.
