I got a couple fairly new DX6 vises and one seems to sticking when loaded. Both are free to turn when unclamped, but one seems to bind a little when clamping load comes on it. Makes it hard to get good feel for how tight your part is. And its hard to release when clamping tightly.
Tried oiling the screw with no improvement. Guessing this is something to do with the thrust bearing? Anybody have any suggestions on how to fix this?
Anybody else somewhat dissapointed with the DX6? Used the 688's for years at my last shop and never ever had an issue. Seems like the DX6 screw mounting is much more rinky dink. Theres barely enough room to use 5/8 clamping bolts. The new style fixture keys suck too. Only thing I really find better then the 688 is the extra bolts holding the fixed jaw. Does seeem to keep things square better.
