murry Nippy vice

[ken frewinParticipant @kenfrewin10473]

Hi, I have just bought a nippy vice and would like to take it all apart and clean it but I cannot see how to take the handle off, any advice ( no pun intended) at all would be apreciated. Regards Ken.

If you look beneath the handle you'll see a screw head. This retains a keep plate and this can be levered out after the screw is removed. Although this facilitates removal of the handle to clean and lubricate the screw, it may not be possible to dismantle any further as judging by the splines visible on the plain end of the screw it was probably force fitted into the moving jaw when manufactured. They are a super drilling vice and it's a pity such are no longer made.

Hi Michael, Thanks for the information, yes they are a great vice, I think RGD are selling one it looks the same but I think it is a Chinese copy, probably not built like the Murry, thanks again. Ken.
