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!
