They will last a lifetime. Well worth using some Kasenit or equivalent on home made T-nuts if you want them to last. Even more so in smaller sizes.

(Risk of cracking the top of the \|T slot if they do ). Rectify at once.! Have you checked that the underside of the vice is making contact with the table, all over i.e not warped Some filing, and possibly bluing and rough scraping needed if it is. Howard
