I then always visit the Forum post list to check if its listed there and the text appears, if it is, all good. If its not I go back to my initial Reply to This page and try again. My original post is still there but possibly in the Visual Mode. I still get caught out

That vice looks real handy with the ball joint. I recently bought a clamp on vice from harbor freight that I really like. I like to be able to use the vice wherever I am working at. I have not seen that model you have before.

Hi again. Here are a couple of other adaptions I have added.
• I removed the brass bolts that hold the removable jaws and replaced them with steel rods, this enables quick swapping over.
• The extra holes in the top of the fixed jaws allow the removable jaws to swivel. This is handy when holding tapered work like necks.
• I Have that block permanently bolted to the bench to allow me to quickly reposition the vice for even more versatility. It will also rotate 360 deg. Also useful if the front of the bench is too thick/deep for the vice to clamp on to.
