Hi Jon, I have not done to much, I am still waiting for Shars to get their 550v vises in stock. I did use a 11/16 four flute end mill to cut 5/8" off each side of some 3/8"X2" flat bar for the spindle wrench, that work good. Check the outside dia. of the bottom nut flange on the drawbar for scratches, that is where mine was sticking. I also thought about adding a lightly pressed on bushing on the drawbar bolt under the bottom nut that would keep the drawbar centered in the spindle bore. What kind of vise did you get?

Thanks alot for that info. I got a grizzly g7154 6 inch opening w/5 by 1.5 inch jaw size on 360 degree with a swivel base.. Have to indicate spindle to table before i can use the vice Please let me know when you have worked more with steel or ss.
regards,
jon
