It looks like I made a bad decision in my choice of vice.
Only found this out when I tried to use my thin parallels with this vice.
My parallels are 1/8" x aaa" x 6"
Hope this pic shows what I mean.
The parallel will not fit on the bedways next to the fixed jaw, there is about a 1/4" gap.
It looks like my options are:
a) make new jaw using guage plate (or similar) about 1/4" thicker than original.
b) make a spacer of about 1/4" to fit behind the original fixed jaw.
What are your options? What would you do?
Many thanks for any advice.
