[modeleng] Re: Milling machine vice

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
