vise jaws
#1
So, I have a Kurt A-50 (yes, it's an A-50, not a D-50!) and the jaws have a few small dings, which MIGHT be causing some tightening issues. (I discovered that the head was very slightly out of tram, so that probably contributed, as well.

New jaws from Kurt are close to $150. Local grinding shops are quoting the same (minimum charge) to grind them.

I found someone on eBay selling a pair of UNHARDENED (1018) jaws for about $40. Of course, I could make a pair myself, I guess. But if I decide not to, am I pissing money away on these? I've already emailed him to ask of they are ground, or just machined surface.

Or, does anybody out there have a surface grinder and would be willing to do it for less?   Thumbsup
