You never have enough Vises

[janschutz]

Brought home a couple vises from the farm that needed some TLC. I started with the one in the middle. The one on the left one of my vises from my garage.


I took it apart then put the pieces into a bucket of Evaporust. Wiped it down, lube it and put it back together.

Going to make some soft jaws for the other 2 vises next.

Tip: Do not drop sharp pieces of metal into a plastic bucket, it will cause it bucket to crack and you will loose $30 worth of Evaporust.

That looks nice, it came out really good.

Well done, sir!

Evaporust is amazing stuff. I had an old rusted torque wrench with a painted scale- threw it in the stuff and it came out shiny and didn't touch the painted scale.

Cleaned up the other 2 vises and made some soft jaws for the Irwin vise.

I made myself a work pedestal years ago and had mount holes is several places to mount different vises, even had one large vise that mounted on the pedestal without a table top. Last year I fabricated a plasma tabke extension for the pedestal table which made vise use a bit of a PITA. This year I fabricated a set of reliever mounts for vises and a large permanent swivel mount for a pair of them. Works so well, not sure why I struggled so long without it.

My wife told me I have too many vices.
