Nippy Vice Rebuild

[GreatOldOne]

I scored a pretty decent Nippy drill press vice on ebay a couple of weeks ago - one that didn't look like swiss cheese. It was dirty, with very little paint on it at all, so it all got disassembled, cleaned, de-rusted and tidied up on the mill to take out a few of the dings it did have on the jaws and main casting. Some one had also used a pipe wrench or similar on the tightening handle, which had marred up the knurling - so that was skimmed off and redone. A bit of paint and it looks almost new.

Great job on the vice. Amazing what a little elbow grease can accomplish. Mike

That looks great, and about 3000 times better than the cheap vise on my drill press.
