  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Monstrous Gerardi mill vice 7x20, $750, Kitchener, ON

You could always put the vise on the table sideways just for poops N giggles.

Or cut it down to a more useable size...... (LOL!)

Seems we go through this regularly. GS can be Gerardi SPA or Gerardi Sowa. Apparently Sowa and Gerardi have a relationship. Either way it is a fine vise.

That one comes with the table clamps and I see a bit of the vise stop hiding behind the top right corner.

I LOVE MY GERARDI!

But that one is in rough shape. The seller has an attitude too. Used stuff isn't worth 50% of the new cost unless it's never been used. I'd put the value of that vise closer to 3 or 4 hundred as is. On the other hand, if it works properly and the gauge surfaces are not all Fkd up, those prismatic jaws are solid gold.

Are those prismatic jaws shaped to pull down the work piece?

Sounds like they work better than the Kurt method?

Disagree! Needs, got everything to do with it! A Fella that wants to make Custom Motorcycle parts has different 'needs' than the guy making 1 cubic millimeter CO2 motors for model airplanes.

THOSE "needs", not the ones that tell you that you 'Don't need that!', usually in a female sounding voice!
