I'm using glove fingers. Mine are 14 mil latex, probably overkill but it's what I had on hand. I didn't cut the holes in the side of the finger, as TonyJ did, I just left them a bit too long so they bunch up at the bottom of the arm.

Clay, I just got off the phone with Kyle, per your advice. He's sending me the entire set of screws so that I'll have all of them. He didn't even need my shipping info, still got it on file, and recognized my name from a couple of phone conversations that wead.

What FANTASTIC customer service!


Thanks tons.

Yes, that's one of the first things that I checked.

I used the top holes in the vise. The knife that I had the issue with is an A.G. Russell Woodswalker. www.agrussell.com/product.asp?pn=AGPRS It's a small blade, about 2 3/8" long and only 3/4" at the widest, tapering to a point. Great little steak knife.

I'm padding the vise with orange painter's tape. No scratches so far. I tried some chamois but the knife moved in the vise. On YouTube I saw someone using aluminum tape, anyone using that?

Thanks for all the suggestions, I appreciate it. I think a shorter screw is the long term answer,

Clay, any chance you'll supply one? That way it would still be part of the set that would work with the supplied wrench.

I'm having an issue with the screw that secures the free vise jaw. It's protruding through the movable vise jaw and preventing me from using a shallow angle because the stone on that side of the vise is hitting the screw, rather than the knife blade. It's happening when I try to go to 15 degrees. Should I not be going that shallow?

Thanks

After having this happen to me several times (on other forums) I started writing all my forum posts in Word. Then I copy and paste to the forum. If it disappears, into the ether, I still have the original.
