7227 forum posts 21 photos | The LIDL bench vice, mounted on a ball joint is not very good, if mine is anything to judge by.. The locating square on the base is "As cast" and needs tom be cleaned up. The ball m,is definitely tough. I ended up making and fitting a new ball. All this work improved the vice a lot, I am happy to say.. Some time ago, MEW published an article on improving this type of vice. Howard Edited By Howard Lewis on 30/12/2021 21:41:03 |
