Fixing up an old milling vice

<< < (5/7) > >>

vtsteam:
We have predictions for rain for the next few days so I was anxious to get a coat of paint on before then. In fact there were a few drops while I was painting, so I quickly moved it to the porch while still wet. Good to have it protected now that it has been stripped!

krv3000:
well dun  :thumbup:

Meldonmech:
Hi vt,
         Looks well now it's got a coat of paint. Do you have to make a new jaw for it?

                                      Cheers   avid

vtsteam:
Yes avid I have to make 2 jaws and a handle for it, and also probably clean up the working surfaces on the mill.

Got a little sidetracked -- got my steam engine conversion running yesterday, and now have a cold. But should be back on it shortly. I need the vise to slit saw my QC tool holders. Seems like all projects are coming together at once.  :dremel:

vtsteam:
Made some jaws this afternoon and trued them up on the mill. Handle left to do.....
