150 mm Vise Soft Jaws.
Hi Guys,
I've been catching up on some round toits that have been building up for a while.
One of these was to get around to making some new soft jaws for the 150 mm vise to replace the last ones that I made.

These two pictures show the new and the old ones. The old ones were made from 3 mm thick aluminium plate, I've made the new ones from 6 mm aluminium plate.

Originally these were a set Record genuine ones made of fibre, the same stuff that sealing washers are made from. They simply broke up from use and abuse, so I replaced the fibre with the 3 mm aluminium plate. I made aluminium rivets to fasten the new jaws in place. I turned them from 1/4" hard aluminium rod, actually I could have done with some softer material.

The finished product. The last set of jaws lasted around 8 years, I wonder how long these will survive !
