For the workbench wizards... This weeks evening entertainment features a nice columbia vise that needs the nut repaired. Is this a doable feat of just a exercise in futility? The threaded shaft is straight if a little worn, just been tweeked a few times too many via BFH
Thinking maybe reach in with hacksaw blade to remove old nut, which is not really a nut just a part of the casting and try and weld a steel nut in its place. Or weld a new nut to the old? A little preheat and Ni rod? Or?
Any words of wisdom appreciated
