Hello, everyone, I`m new to the forum but can't wait to get to know everybody I am just getting my shop up and running, and I have run into a little snag with my leg Vise.
I am having a problem with my leg vise pictured here.
The Vise is in pretty good shape its threads are good, and its jaws close tight and parallel, but it won't open correctly. The jaws will open, and the lead screw unscrews just fine, but the jaws will only open about half an inch under its power, and it has to be pulled open further than that — shown in the picture below.
Anybody got any tips on what could be wrong? I think it might be the spring.
