Hi guys...
I need to replace the vice on my Micro-Mark mill and was wondering if you guys had any recommendations?
The small Micro-Mark tilting vice I have seems to be bending downard when you tighten it down. Not ideal.
I'm also looking for sources for tooling in general for this sized lathe, so if you have any links or sources that you'd be willing to share, please do. I need to get more sophisticated on how I use this, but I need to appropriate tooling, hold-downs, etc., to make it happen and would like to start collecting them.
Then, I need to figure out how to get the **** collet holder to release so I can mount other accessories (drill chuck, etc)... **** thing is just stuck, and even a 5lbs sledge striking the top of the hold-down rod won't shock it free... Went in, won't come out... Ugggh.
Thanks!
