Jaw Resurfacing
Not wanting to purchase a brand new set of jaws?
I offer this service to keep your old set of jaws but make them usable again.
How do I do this?
First, I start by addressing any burrs on the back surface. Next, I surface grind off the old serrations to get a nice, flat surface to start with. After that I then mill the new serrations and bring them back to life. This service is something that I have done for a very long time and have had great results.
*Please make sure your jaws are thick enough to lose some material off of the face*
**You will sometimes need to address your screw heads to get them to seat below the face of the jaws; I do not do this**
Take a look for yourself below at some of the resurfacing jobs I have completed.
BEFORE
You can see where someone once attempted to cut new serrations, this vise was brought to me to repair as it had no grip!
AFTER
It's now ready to be put back to work with new serrations.
