So I just bought a used Elephant ELV-150E vise. Probably paid too much for it, story of my life. But it is in very good shape.Way better than the ancient Bridgeport vise that came with my also ancient Bport.
I get it in the shop and notice a lot of free play from the moving jaw section between the screw. I found that there is a piece missing between the top jaw and the screw. As luck would have it I have recently read that there is a ball bearing in there that actually takes up that space and gives adjust ability. Not sure where I read that but pretty sure that is what I need.
So anybody know where I can get that bearing? Maybe it is just 1/2 of a bearing ball. Seems like that is something I read about a Kurt vise, but IDK for sure.
Any thoughts?
