Hi,
I just picked up this new band saw, the vice is a bit crap at the moment. It work as a pressure/pinch vice and just is not strong enough. When cutting, the piece moves too much in the vice. I just can't get the vice to tighten up enough. I've tried various clamps and can;t get it work well enough with out having to hold the piece by hand. I'm cutting 30mm angle.
Any ideas of a mod? or what kind of after market vice I could find? something like this (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-Inch-VI...735?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item35eb4a0e27)
Am I missing an obvious fix?
This is what it looks like
