McKenzie vice - need spare part - where?
Hi!
I need a spare part for my McKenzie Pedestal Vice. This is the vice that is pictured on every page in A.K.Bests book "Advanced Fly tying". It seems to be out of production and so far I've been unable to get hold of a supplier of a missing thumb screw . Can any of you give me a clue ? Any suggestions would be highly apprechiated. Best Regards Jan |

Take the vise to a machinist or machine shop, and ask them to check the thread in the hole where the thumbscrew fits. (chances are they'll do it for free, or at mos, a couple of dollars) Once you know the size and pitch of the thread, it should be simple to find a suitable replacement.

Or, just take the vise to a hardware store and try fitting a screw into the threaded hole and see what size fits. Then find a thumbscrew in that size. |

Well, you could try that first, but it could be a metric fine pitch thread that your local hardware dealer wouldn't be able to identify. But it wouldn't hurt as a first step.
