Quick vice.

Hey David

Thanks for the interest, yes it turned out just fine. One of the problems was that a few of the screws were a bit long and I think that is why they were working free very quickly. I milled the end like you said to get a nice square fixed jaw - I couldn`t believe how bad it came from the factory! All nice and square now and the screws at the base are all locktighted up so no more rattling free!

Believe it or not, I was actually trawling ebay for a new vice when I thought I`d just do a quick search on here - I couldn`t believe it when I saw your vice rebuild thread and not only that but the exact same vice!!

I`m pleased with it now - perhaps in the future I will get a new one but it will certainly suffice at present.

Hey Chris,

Well done!  :thumbup:

It`s always far more satisfying to rebuild what yer got, than to replace with another, with a different problem!......   :bang:
