In this video I am fixing a post vise with several jaw issues. There is a gap on one side, one jaw is higher than the other and the other jaw is tweaked. Don't be intimidated, you can fix this!

Good video! My vice has needed fine tuning for a while! Always good to watch someone else work thru the "what if's" before I get out the rosebud! Your end result was spot on! Good post, keep them coming!

Ya every vise is a little different to fix - I'm glad I could be a bit of a guinea pig for yours!

Nice video on the straightening! I believe the jaws actually are designed to have a slight gap at the bottom when closed completely. So they grip wider peaces better, being parallel when somewhat apart, as they swivel around the hinge. I know mine does work well that way .

Thanks, these vice videos have been a wealth of knowledge, I have a pile of vises I have acquired for dirt cheap over the years, I fix one up here and there. I am sure this information will benefit me on future vise projects.

Good fix. Use a spacer if you're going to put something in the vice on one side. This will help keep it aligned.

Once more, thank you for the excellent video. Very nice repair. I think you are right on all aspects of the origin of the vice, in the factory they manufactured it already mismatching the jaws and probably sold it cheapo with defect. A question, since we have access to machinery, and since hinge holes were punched crooked and in the wrong place, couldn't you plug all those holes with weld and then drill everything is the right place and perfect aligned with a drill press?
@FarmsteadForge
@FarmsteadForge 6 месяцев назад
Thank you! You definitely could do all of that. I'm happy with the quirks this one has. On vises with a worn out hinge pin I have welded them up and re-drilled them. Thanks for your comment!

The jaw on the left (at 6:30) is bent back slightly at the point where the screw squeezes it. It's no doubt as a result of over-tightening at some point. That's what's causing the jaw to be higher. I haven't watched the rest of the video, yet but I'm sure that's what's causing the misalignment. I think it's too much to be a manufacturing fault. Interesting project though. Is that torch acetylene or propane?
@FarmsteadForge
@FarmsteadForge 5 месяцев назад
The torch is acetylene.

That’s a beautiful vice worth restoring. Something tells me there’s no way that was made so magnificently and they missed the boring by 15 degrees? No way, It may be a design feature to hold work better?

How old are vises like that ?
@FarmsteadForge
@FarmsteadForge 5 месяцев назад
Some of them are very old! This is a later one, I'd guess around 1910.
