Record and Paramo vices

Probably not too far off the mark. I have leaned on an 8 inch record (sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do) with a four foot snipe. Couldn't break it. See my other post in this thread.

Ken.

Someone trying to bend a bar over the front - back to front - instead of in reverse. Likely the vice wasn't strong enough for either direction.

Just above in the picture is what looks like a pipe that might have been a 'lever' to tighten it... Martin Martin Eastburn @ home at Lions' Lair with our computer lionslair at consolidated dot net NRA LOH, NRA Life NRA Second Amendment Task Force Charter Founder

You're right - I hadn't noticed that. I bet there was a flaw in the casting and then someone overtightened it. Makes sense.

Had a look for your pictures of the cross slide stop but they don't seem to be working. The page shows up but the pictures don't appear.

Give it another shot Chris. I have been experiencing problems here and it might be a system problem.

Still no luck, Ken. Even when I clear my cache...

Get my Email?

Yes, thanks. I just sent a reply.

Could someone on the group give this a try and let me know the results? I would like to know if this is a general problem so I can have a go at fixing it.

Thanks. Ken.

I just get a blank page. Wayne Cook Shamrock, TX

I think I have fixed it. Could someone please try it now and report?

Thanks. Ken.

Nope still broke.

Hi Ken,

It still doesn't work. Your image links are addressed to local files. The following code will fix the first two images, but there is still something wrong with the third image file name. Fix that in the code below and that should work too :)

Viewing the source it looks like it's pointing to your hard drive for the images, you need to upload them and change the pointer to the correct files.

Thanks a bunch! Try it now. Ken.

Hi Ken,

Ahhh! I see the images now, looks to be fixed, even all three of'em :)

Thanks Leon.

Ken.

I'll go one step beyond Dave's guess. The discoloration at the upper right seems to correspond with a stain on the painted area. It looks like something was spilled, oil, solvent, etc. There is a good chance that the discoloration in the broken area was a pre-existing crack. Eventually, the crack spread.

Dave has a keen eye to spot that discoloration.

Cheers,

Kelley
