Cruising Facebook market place last Thursday found an old milling vise , cheap and only 1 hour away. Couldn’t resist it so I picked her up. Had to dissasemble in the boot as was too heavy to carried into backyard. Pic 1 shows the bits on my bench. I decided to paint her. , pic2 shows her on the mill. Not sure how the pain will stand up to hot swarf but will find out
