How to Rebuild a Vise

When was the last time you had to pull your vise apart to inspect the components? In this "LEARNING FROM THE PROS" episode, Matt Schmelzer from Northeast Wisconsin Technical College guides us through the process.

To take apart and rebuild a vise, you'll need the following tools:
set of hex keys
ratchet with the correct hex socket
scribe point
hammer and chisel
deadbolt hammer
