Review on Enhanced HFS Non-Swivel Milling Lockdown Vise: Maximize Precision and Stability by Walter Martin

Weight over 25 lbs. Machine operation looks fine on guide and slide blocks, but there is no Acme thread on the lead screw. It's a standard left-hand triangle thread, so I have a fake? The vise adjustment knob is a very sloppy fit as the screw is a 12mm hex and the knob is a 1/2" (12.7mm) hex millimeter head or ratchet wrench. I would like to know why my 95 "Dollar vise shouldn't have a cross thread should be. I paid for a real vicuña but got a lot less. Edit: Warning! I got severe cuts from the vise because the edges are very wet and razor sharp. The edges of the jaws and the... Guides must be beveled with a smooth flat file Be safe to handle Very sharp Jaws are reversed by removing the jaw plate and screwing onto the opposite side of the slide, no need to remove the entire slide assembly or fixed block The Carriage adjustment must be tightened until there is only slight resistance to movement. Because it tightens the components together, the guides add to be pressed. I'll lighten the vise by drilling holes and I'll try sanding the bottom 6mm. That's very hard for a small mill.
