I broke my vice last night, and the vise has alot of grease caked on over the years... I wiped off what I could, but there is still some minor traces of grease. Asside from the fact that the leftover grease residue may potentially catch on fire (for a few seconds) Is there anything else I should be concerned about? Eg: Argon gas near grease? I don't know enough about this gas stuff.. Thanks ;-)
MIG welding near grease? safe?

What is your vice made out of? Cast? That should be more of an issue then any grease, which at worst will run off and then possibly catch fire.
