Broken Vise Repair Tested

This modification made the vise a dream to work with. I really enjoyed this vintage Prentiss vise and after breaking it in the vise comparison video, I knew I had to fix it. Thank you for watching and I can’t wait to show you whats next. Even though I didn’t do a full restoration I like the way it functions and looks. It was fun to weld cast iron. I rarely get to braze so i took advantage of the opportunity. I added bearings to the screw and rebuilt the spindle for max performance. I repaired the cast iron crack and made the sliding jaw of the vise stronger. US Store: EU Store:
