i would of thought where the red circles are,would be closer to the bed
So would ! But they shouldn't be in contact either. You could argue this is only a 'cosmetic' issue, but I would say that the actual sliding faces (both the horizontal and angled ones could benefit from having greater contact area, but this would need a bit more ;'meat' in the castings. The third one down is OK, if scruffy. That said I don't suppose the sliding faces are perfect either - but it is 'only' a cheap cross vice not a milling table. Neil |
