Kurt machine vice parts supplier

[scottmk1]

I managed to get a real nice Kurt HDM690 vice off eBay but it didn't come with a handle. Does anyone know of a supplier of Kurt parts in the UK? I googled it but nothing came up?

CIS do Kurt stuff.
I think yours has a 3/4" AF spindle,if so,the handle is £54.58 + vat
I'd use a cut down breaker bar with a ball on the end,fitted with a 3/4" 6 point socket.
If you want the real thing,order from your nearest branch.
Very nice vice by the way,quality stuff.

Cheers Dave. At that sort of price it will be a breaker bar as you suggest. Yes it is a very nice bit of kit, been used a couple of times so virtually new, £180 delivered, must be the best bargain I've had.

That's all the standard one is,more or less.
You hold it straight like a nut driver till it's against the work,then fold it round and snug it up.
