I’ve have actually been having the same problem also!

I didn’t recognize it until I saw your images cause I thought it was suppose to be that way since it came like that out of the box.

But it could explain some problems I’ve had with clamping thin blades maybe?

Yup… call Kyle.

(Also might let him know it came that way… they might want to spot check their supply?)

And holding a ruler to both of the vises it seems that both of them are bent. It’s difficult to photograph that without 3 hands 😉 but if you want to see it I’ll give it a try…

try to go out and buy powder…

[tuffy braithwaite]

i can sure tell you the lead business has been steadily picking up. i sell random weights of old lead fishing sinkers on ebay and last few weeks – god they have been selling like hot cakes in 10lb. lots.

my buddy tells me the bullet making guys are buying all the lead.
whoever – i like it……

The range I live and work at (www.slosa.org) volume is down literally in half. I’m lucky as I come by deals, but it keeps me broke!:P

We just had a lead retrieval company at the rang for the first time in thirty years. Going down four inch on the trap and skeet range the took out $150K worth of lead. There is plent more but they had to move on for a government contract that was time sensitive.

Just wanted to say thanks to Kyle for a quick solution to my issue with the vise jaws. Looking forward to receiving my shipment!

[tuffy braithwaite]

Yesterday at the farmers market i had a fellow who wanted me to sharpen his tiny swiss army knife.
.

when i went to tighten it down it just fell out of the vice. it would appear my 2nd vice has sprung or something.

last week i ordered a new vice with the new s/s insert (my 3rd vice) because this vice has major hole where bottom vice screw tightens. – i was unaware of this problem – so i am ok in that department, i am just sticking this out for everyone to take notice and make sure your vice it fine.
