Thread: Compound Drill vice

I am trying to remove the bottom nut from this vice, I can't see a lock screw or thread have tried tapping it out but not movement as yet.

Has anyone pulled one apart and removed the bottom slide completely ??

I worked on one of these a few months back for the grandfathers home made lathe, but can't remember the nut. Do you have a picture of the problem nut?

Dave its the one which allows the bottom screw to operate the first slide under the bottom.
I want to remove the slide and its stopping me from doing so
Have rung H&F's they are looking into it also.

Have you tried removing the screw to remove the slide? I am not sure but it the nut maybe cast into it.

Edit
You would also have to remove the gib

Dave everything is off except the slide.

Just found message left on phone from George at H&F's says I must have a tight one as ones on the shelf are loose and retained in via the screw. So try tapping a little harder and its should come out. Will give it a go tomorrow. Thanks for your input Dave
