What happens here
Perform a final inspection and cleaning pass on all components using a wire wheel brush and paint scraper to ensure every bit of old paint, rust, and grime is removed. Once satisfied with the cleanliness, liberally spray all metal parts with brake cleaner. This step ensures that all surfaces are perfectly clean and free of contaminants before lubrication and reassembly, providing a fresh start for the vise.
Goal: Ensure all vise components are perfectly clean and ready for reassembly.
