It is great to hear that you have fixed it 🙂

Great to hear that you have improved your vise 👍

Cheers, hope yours is OK now! Feel like it took a beating, so we can all learn how it works

For clamping there are only one socet set screw and rubber pin. Check if rubber pin is stucked in hole and does not press into rotating unit.

I bought it on Amazon: www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07ZP143YL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I already did some general deburring. Will post mods in near future. Currently I am making video about special gold wedding rings.

Thank you I am glad that you like it 🙂. You can use HSS drills for metal.

Thank you for tip 🙂

I disassembled it with the help of a lever between the two halves and big hammer, but it was very difficult. And yes, Bearings are Hard pressed in the main body. Also there is a problem of rust. Block is not made from stainless steeel as described. I assume it is very low grade of stainless steel (if it is) with high content of Fe. My block has small ammount of rust between bearings which further limited dismantling. You idea of threaded hole is very good and best one to avoid damage.

@@simonvidajewelry Cheers! Will try it today and report back. Thanks for the breakdown, it really helped.

@@simonvidajewelry I did the threaded hole technique today, worked like a charm! I'll make a video of it and post a link here eventually.

@@karlmansson8319 great 👍. I am glad that my video helped 🙂

Hi. I disassembled mine with the help of a lever stuck between the two halves and applying force on the lever. The video describes how to disassemble without the use of force. However, I believe that there are several different versions of ball vise on the market.

@@simonvidajewelry im really stuck here i got a vevor as well

Could you show a video of how to disassemble it from the beginning ?

@@leaupaize did you drill a hole on the bottom side of the ball as I described in video? I highly recommend to do this.

@@simonvidajewelry i didnt, what size should it be ? Would it be possible to talk by email or text ? Thank you for your quick answers

I agree that the quality is not the best. But there are probably also differences between individual pieces (poor quality control). However, I think it's still a good base for the price alone, compared to the GRS. Of course, modifications are needed.

Hai, Saya mulai dari nol dan menginvestasikan uang saya secara perlahan. Semoga tercapai segala yang terbaik untukmu

@@simonvidajewelryyes me too, I get my gravera water from my savings. but it will slow down in learning

Hi. There are a lot of "DIY Ball vise" projects on internet & YT. But from my perspective this cheap versions costs around 100-150 USD and are worth buying.
