I'm glad to hear that, but it may end up costing me a lot of money. Its not costing you anything if you enjoy tying on it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bazzer69 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2020 Don’t get me wrong about the CAE vise, I really like tying on it, it’s just the quality control is a bit irritating Barry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poopdeck 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2020 I'm not familiar with the vise so Perhaps I'm missing something but what exactly is the difficulty with this vise and putting the stem into a different base or a C clamp base? 10MM or 3/8" isn't really a problem since there's a set screw if the hole is a hair big. If the hole is a hair small drill it out. A hand drill is all that's needed since 99.5% of the hole is already there. I wouldn't let a simple thing like a base or clamp keep me from getting the vise I wanted. From the pictures I think the wood base is a little cheesy but simple enough to replace unless it's somehow integral to the operation or esthetics of the vise.

Commercial base made for 10 mm and it holds the Dan -Vise stem... $25.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From the pictures I think the wood base is a little cheesy but simple enough to replace unless it's somehow integral to the operation or esthetics of the vise. I don't know why this is hard to understand. Most if not all American vises use a 3/8"(9.5 mm) stem. This means that clamps and bases for these vises have 9.5 mm holes. If a vise has a 10 mm stem it won't fit in a 9.5 mm hole. You would need to bore out the hole or turn down the stem to fit. But it sounds like the whole thing is moot because you can order a JVice with a 3/8" stem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Right you are, and then shipping costs are often a tough factor for S African companies... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
