Hi to all long time no messages, Do you have the chance of going around to find a second hand vice(of a known manufactuerer) from a secondhand tool dealer, grenrally they are of good construction with the strength wear it required even if the jaws may need a skim. we have quite alot of second hand tool dealers where you can buy a vice for about half the price you would pay for a new far eastern one. speak to the group more soon. regards John Burridge > Message Received: Nov 19 2005, 01:27 PM > From: BrVoelker@xxxxxxx > To: modeleng@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Cc: > Subject: [modeleng] Milling machine vice > > I have a Rong Fu RL80RF311 Mill/Drill with a 8" x 28" Table.
