Hi all.
Its me again.
Just got a new acquisition. A machinists vice. I think its an Australian made vice ... the graduations on turn table are in mm.
Im pretty happy with myself. Its soooooo heavy and sooooo solid but it moves smoother than the newer vice i got, and feels so much better to use.
Dont think ill do anything to it just yet. oh i lied did put some oil on it and it literally glides... not moves but glides.
only down side is that its missing a handle in the back.
was wondering if anyone had a spare handle lying around?? love to hear from ya. the measurement where the crank would go is just under 17mm as youll see from the pics tell me what ya think.
Regard Mr GS
