drill vice refit - krv3000 - 08-12-2013

hi all i got this at the boot sale it needed my loving touch its a nippy drill vice that had bin well used as i don't have the means to weld cast i used two part metal epoxy to fill in the drill marks the key to using this stuff is give it something to grip on to IE in this case SOS no pics i drilled 1mm holes in all of the drill marks so the epoxy had sum thing to hold on to then i just smoothed it dawn with a file then finished off with emery cloth gave it all a scrub with a weir brush and re-panted it pics

Bob that sounds like a product I've used. Amazing stuff for repairing bores in cast where a bearing has spun. Machine the hole out say 100 though over, pack that in and let it set with a light bulb beside it to help cure it. Once set it machines like cast.
