Hi, had a look at a neighbours engineers quick release vice today, its a large Paramo version of the Record type. A screw had fallen out of the saddle plate that holds the Half Nut in and he had reassembled it with the plate upside down. The intresting thing is that once put back together the screw action is very tight, everything is straight and nothing is binding except the collar on the screw where it bears on the retaining plate that holds the screw in place,,I would have expected both these parts, the retaining plate and the collar to be worn and perhaps loose rather than tight,,we tried tapping it gently to see if it settled but with the two screws snugged up the vice was getting towards being unuseable,,,in the end we have placed a couple of bits of very thin packing under the plate and its now working perfectly,,but its annoying,,any ideas anyone?
Ps its tight at all points of both the handle and the screw,,
