This small vise came with my Burke #4 horizontal mill. It was a dirty broken mess. I turned the screw support on the lathe, and made the jaws from a piece of mystery metal I got from the local truck salvage store. It seems to be material than CRS.
The jaws came out much better than I thought they would. After sawing them to size I used the Delta-Milwaukee tool maker as a surface grinder. I ground them as a pair...mostly holding them at the same time in a small tool makers vise.
The Tool maker grinder was last winters project.....mostly just disassembly-cleaning-painting.
The little Burke #4 will have to wait a while. This winters project it a Burke Millrite MV-1
