Barn Find Vice Comes Back to life! Rusty Gold!
What happens here
Using a DeWalt cordless drill fitted with a wire wheel brush, thoroughly clean all visible surfaces of the rotating base, the main movable jaw, the small Allen bolts for the base, and the friction plate. Focus on removing all rust, old paint, and any grime. Once brushed, spray each cleaned component generously with brake cleaner to remove any remaining oil or residue.
Goal: Remove rust, old paint, and grime from the primary vise components.
