    Default Quick release on vise slipping

    Hi folks ,
    We have two woodworkers bench vises at the guild that have quick release slippages .
    Both of them clack clack and slip , not just under load but also when they are empty .
    . One is a medium range Record , the other about the same size , can't think of the make .
    Does anyone have any info on fixing the problem ?
    I've had a good look on the net and not found any vise maintenance pages

    cheers ,
    Jock

    A common occurence. They just need to be dismantled, cleaned and oiled.
    .
    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.


    Regards, Woodwould.

    Cheers WW ,
    I hoped that that was the case .
    I have come across some mention of a quick-release nut on a buttress thread.
    It sounds tricky ,

    No, they're not tricky at all, less complicated than your average Bailey plane......you'll be fine.

    There is a chance that the half-nut on the release is worn but you'll know more when you get them dismantled.

    A couple of hours of kerosene and swearing, some light oil and a smidge of grease and you'll be good to go.
    We don't know how lucky we are......
