Re: Huge Ridgid/Columbian 6" Combo Vise Restoration

Started the lathe work last night but didn't get to finish, the motor that came with the lathe has always been weak and last night it finally bit the dust. I got the area of the shaft that goes through the dynamic jaw turned down, and started on the handle end but it died before I got it all the way cleaned up.

















The brass bushings and sleeves came in from McMaster so I can bore and sleeve the dynamic jaw's bore and the handle bore. I found the Athol 714 a couple weeks ago, it's pretty decent overall besides the ratcheting handle "repair".
