Hi all.
I've acquired a really nice condition record no8 vice.
It's a monster! And am really pleased with it however it has an unholy amount of backlash.
It takes a full turn and a half to even start to undo/tighten.
With the jaws open about 3" the front jaw has an excess amount of movement backwards and forwards, about 1 inch.
The spring at the front of the vice on the main threaded rod is loose and also moves back and forth.
I'm not to familiar with engineering vices, can any one point me in the right direction on how to fix this issue and what to look for?
Many thanks.
