Broken Vice Repair - Restoration

Рет қаралды 770,039

Күн бұрын

Last time when I visited my friend with the spray booth to paint the Gresel bench vice, he told me that his vice is broken. I looked at it and saw that it wasn't running as smooth as it should anymore. He took it off his bench and gave it to me to take a look at it. I asked you guys on Instagram and Facebook if you'd like to see a video of this on my second channel and you all clearly said yes.
After the disassembling I've quickly found the issue, the beginning of the threads of the spindle were damaged. I removed all the burrs with the rotary grinder and used grinding compound to remove all damage on the thread and that was it to get it running again.
Half way through the job I decided to go a bit further than just a repair job. I talked to my friend and we decided to give it a new paint job as well. Also a light restoration on all the parts. A bit unusual for a „my mechanics“ video are definitely all the new screws, but just for a quick job this was definitely the right decission. You'll never doing something wrong when replacing old with new screws when taking something apart and put it back together. We also discovered an until unknow function of this vice, it can rotate! That's a very cool feature of this little vise in my opinion.
After all I think it turned out very well just for a quick repair job.
I hope you like my work and the video.

I especially like the hot bluing. But over all, this rebuild was "NO B.S." and a THUN of FUN.

@MaximRecoil 4 жыл бұрын

He didn't do any hot bluing in this video, nor has he ever in any video. He does oil blackening, which is the same type of finish that builds up on a well-used cast iron frying pan, i.e., carbonized oil. Bluing is black iron oxide (which has nothing in common with carbonized oil, aside from the color), which is why it's also known as a black oxide finish. "Hot bluing" is a real term, and it's also known as "hot salt bluing," and it's far more of a hassle to do than dunking hot steel into oil. A simpler method of bluing is "rust bluing", where you let the steel develop a coating of surface rust (red rust), then you boil it in water to convert the red iron oxide to black iron oxide, and you card off the excess with a wire wheel. You repeat the process until it's as black as you want it. It doesn't require the highly caustic salts and delicate procedure that hot bluing does, but it's more time consuming. It's the original method of bluing. "Cold bluing" isn't actually bluing either. It's selenium dioxide, and unlike real bluing, it offers little to no protection against rust and it wears off easily.

Do you see this vice? I love this vice. It holds things admirably. When the sun shines on it, the paint glimmers beautifully. When I turn the handle, it moves smoothly. Yet for me, this vice is already broken. When the handle bends and the paint is badly scraped and the screw threads are ruined, I say, ‘Of course.’ But when I understand that this vice is already broken, every minute with it is precious. Likewise remind yourself that you love what is mortal; that you love what is not your own. It is allowed you for the present, not irrevocably, nor forever; but as a fig, or a bunch of grapes, in the appointed season.

Very nice . Hard to tell that the finished product didn't just come out of the factory packaging. If l may share a trick l use on gun parts - on parts like the jaw plates , place them in boiling water for a few minutes. This will expand the pores in the metal . When you take each part out of the water it should dry itself just from the retained heat . When dry but still hot apply the cold blue , then oil . l find that this seems to give a sturdier coating as it penetrates a little deeper . Stay safe .

I was going to post asking what the brass pin was for, glad I watched all the way to the end. Makes me want to pull my old vice off my bench and overhaul it, then I remember I don't have any of the tools you have so I'll just let it sit. Great content and love your videos!

We live in the same country, but not in the same world. When I lend a tool to my friends, it leaves in perfect condition and it returns broken after a rapid destruction. The video of my ’my mechanics’ ’, but backwards… Seriously, congratulations on your work, it is magnificent, of exemplary quality and of a magnificent finish. This gives us, humble handymen, the example, the desire and the goal to achieve for our work. And even if we don't get to the top of the mountain, we will end up reaching the top of a hill. Thanks for that.

My mechanics: 'I'm not going to do a full restoration" Then does a full restoration better than new.

Nah, he skipped the rough edges around the anvil and the jaws. Those "battle scars" are why it is *not* a full restoration. :)

as we all know, when MM say "I'm not going to do a full restoration", he means he will make a new one🤣

This was a simple well designed vise. You gave it new life. Well done

Let's put it this way: My Mechanics is the Original and others are pure imitation.

I am in awe of your mechanical ability & knowledge. I know we all love "I make a new one" but what gets me is that you know HOW to make a new one. And know when something is missing or added. Love both your channels.

I was going to make a joke about how this quick restoration is better than 90% of other channels, but I got distracted by how cool that swiveling vise actually is

There are not excessive fixes as long as stuff needs repair. Also all Vice are mega useful, in a pinch they can save you tons of struggle, so completely worth the restore.
