thanks guys, the vise seems to work very well, all parts were machined and welded, my apprentice did all the bead blasting he will be making knives in the new year lol, beats video games.
i machined all the wheels from aluminum, the 10 inch contact wheel is from bee metal, i am building 5 of these, not sure yet what the total cost will be.
i am a millwright,welder, electrician, i am building several 2x72 grinders, will be building a propane forge and hyd press in the coming months, looking forward to forging steel again.
