    The VISES of Garage Journal

    I'm no expert but do have an eye, and this is possibly the best example of a museum quality piece that has been posted to date. QUOTE=Wadeh66;3373714]C. Parker No 1 vise with 3.5" jaws I am hoping someone here can give me some insight into my vise. I've had it for about 20 years and inherited...

    Hole saw wobble?

    In my experience, slower is better with a hole saw. Start the cut with very light pressure till you have a kerf established. This will help guide the saw. Use some type of coolant/lube. I use a cap full of cheap dish soap in a quart of water.

    Just my safety side coming out, but I don't think it wise to store that propane bottle inside a closed building. I think it is illegal here in the USA.

    So, how did I do?

    I think you did really well seeing that porter-cable was once the top of the line. I think a new one without the stand is near $300.

    master of none here in south east TN

    found your site while investigating vises. I have not had time to look around the site much, but if it has to do with tools and or machinery, I am sure I will like it. I enjoy doing all of my own work on what ever it is. Well, I enjoy most of it. I rarely hire anything done if there is a way...
