WTB: Bridgeport 6" vise jaws

crrmeyer · Mar 5, 2015

I am looking for for a pair of Bridgeport 6" vise jaws like those shown in the photos. Plaza machinery has them listed on their web site but they are not available. Unfortunately my original ones developed scale on the clamping surface as shown when I was using 10:1 diluted molasses solution for rust removal. I have used molasses for rust removal quite a bit, but this is the first time I have seen a scale form. So if you have a pair of the vise jaws available, please let me know.
Thanks

Did you try bead blasting that scale?

OR have them surface ground.

Thanks for the recommendations. I unfortunately do not have access to a surface grinder. Bead blasting may be an option, though I wonder how flat I will be in the end since the one I use is really small. So if I cannot find someone with a spare set, I'll try bead blasting. If the flatness is suspect, I'll see if I can pay one of the local shops to clean it up on a surface grinder.

Sorry wrong size, They are brand new hardened and ground and I think they are for a L&W vise. Anyone else interested let me know
