RESTORATIONS
1 of 2 that I picked up
Works great. Good for quick clamp and release for repeating parts work.
Quick clamp and release with half crank of the handle. Good for repeating parts work.
Cleaned up, Top re-milled with a ground finish. Redone in a custom mixed spray paint.
Cleaned up and resurfaced, new numbers stamped in.
Two boxes cleaned up.
I bought this vice cheep knowing it was a rescue, as you can see light comes through on one side near top when clamped.
Vice Jaws after a lot of lapping. You can tell your on when the white light gets filtered down to monochromatic light. Blue light puts the gap around 450nm to 500nm, which is perfect having the top with a bit more clamping. When under full pressure there is no light.
