The acme screw is reversed threads and comes out of the vice before closing all the way(about 1" short). The block that captures the other end of the shaft has been Jerry rigged also. I think someone bore down on this thing and broke the original cap and pushed the threaded rod into the handle too far (it's a 2 piece deal) Any body familiar with the Burke vice on the #4? I'm thinking I'll drill a hole in the end and try to knock the shaft out of the handle end with a drift punch. If not my other 2 options are to make some fatter jaws with rabbits in top edge or make a new threaded rod (reverse acme)
