Repairing a Destroyed Vise Jaw Pt. 1!

I picked up a very well used Morgan 360 vise recently and one of the many issues with it is the worn away swivel jaw. It appears that at some point the removable jaw broke off and the vise stayed in use without that jaw, wearing away the cast iron behind and leaving a sizable belly, seen in the beginning of the video. I heated the casting up to between 400-500 degrees F and then began building up weld using a TechAlloy 55 nickel wire in ,.035" size from Lincoln Electric, running through my Lincoln PowerMig 260. Then I let the part cool in sand so as to slow the process. Finally I machined the weld back down to square on my Bridgeport mill and it is ready for new jaw shelves to be machined in. Very happy with how this repair is going!

Nice presentation. You really need to try a needle scaler for weld cleanup. You'll wonder why you haven't been using one your whole life. There will be needle scalers in heaven because God invented them in Genesis 1. They're that good.
