Making Replacement vise jaws
My mill came with a 4" Palmgren vise. It's a bit light, and lacks
dovetails & gibs. It's basically a drillpress vise.
So I acquired a heavy old Victoria 4" milling vise. It looks fine save
for the jaws, which need replacing. Any chance of buying replacement
jaws for this old vise?
Assuming the answer is no, making jaws looks fairly simple.
I think I have some tool steel plates in about that size.
Is that the appropriate material?
Will my bandaw cut it?
Will regular drills work?
Suggestions welcome.
