Re: Huge Ridgid/Columbian 6" Combo Vise Restoration

Got the lathe motor replaced and started back on machining the spindle. After turning down the end I bored the handle hole back to unwallered metal.







.003" press fit on the bronze sleeve, then turned down within a couple thou and sanded flush with 150 grit.
