Milling vise question

[Kevin Taylor]

My inport clone is about to go to the Iron , less than two year's old sound's like a meat grinder when you tighten the thing , the bolt patern isen't the same as a kurt so had to make dedicated soft jaw's dosent repeat wery well and the hex on the handel is sloppey other than that it will make a nice door stop If you want a simple vice I have a couple of BPT vise's I would part with PM me Happy shoping Kevin

If you buy a Kurt please consider the higher priced models or you may be dissappointed as I was. Even the replacement d675 vise (sent the first one back) which I received was way out of the specified tolerances provided by Kurt for the guide ways side to side clearance -very loose, also much axial play in the thrust needle bearings.

Hope you make an informed decision

I picked up a used KURT 6" vise from a used machinery dealer, it was all rusty, and the hard jaws were all chewed up!

I dismantled the clunker, ran it through the degreaser with a wire brush and some scotchbrite, then let it dry. Re Ground the base, the top of the movable jaw, and the stationary jaw. Then I bought a brand new set of Hard Jaws for it from Enco for $25 each.

Now I have a good Kurt viae for under $180!

Too lazy to paint it tho!

The best part is now I can use all my old soft jaws again! I will still use the 4" Chinese vise, because it is lighter, and easier to load on the bridgeport!
