Vise body cleaned in the heated ultrasonic tank! turned out great! There was a ton of syrup like grease that would have taken me a long time to remove with solvent and a brush. Tomorrow i'll do the rest of the parts. Also need to pickup a couple taps and chase all the threads, for the new hardware i'm going to install. I think i'm going to call a few local shops and see what it costs to do a light surface grind. If it's not to much money, i might as well. I laid it up on the granite surface and it was extremely flat on its bottom, the sides were decent but i believe a few high spots on the corners from dings and dents could be taken down.
