    Default Straightening my tilted Hilma Röhmheld machinist vice

    I bought a Hilma Röhmheld hydraulically assisted machinist vice from eBay.
    This vice is in a really good condition considering it's age and the affordable price.
    I, of course, measured the jaws for straightness and it seemed like there was nothing wrong with them.
    However, when straightening a workpiece using parallels under the workpiece became tapered. The taper was 0.1 millimeters on a distance of 70 millimetres. That is definitely too much.
    So, now I straighten the vice bottom to get it level.

    I have had some complaints before.

    Maybe this particular Forum (being the video forum )is set up to show videos.

    It seems Finno is the only person posting still pics in this video forum.
    Theres nothing showing to approve in the moderators dashboard.Can't approve it if I can,t see it.

    Perhaps if Finno posted any still pics he wants us to see in the general forum or projects areas we would could see them.

    Just tested this by first logging out of the forum and then trying the links without logging in (being a quest).
    The video link seems to work allright but the pictures do not. They need some sort of approval ...

    The pictures are supposed to give some sort of preview on what to wait from the video. To build a prejudice so to say ...
