Next time hook the ground lead to the knurled end of the clamps screew I believe it made that way to get a better electrical path, or maybe to let the vice grips hold better!Gee, I can`t imagine why.m Today on the VFT.

New toy. Bench top model. Trouble is I have no empty bench top space.
I prescribe to the theory: If you buy it you will make room.

And Ken, that's a vise-grip. A vice grip is what naughty ladies have.
That will be handy on a milling machine. Like a poor mans dividing head.Stripped, cleaned, reassembled. I'll let it dry good and brush on a coat of gray enamel.
Was surprised how good it is, not a sloppy old beater, tight and smooth, either run by a careful operator or saw little use?

Written like it was from personal experience?
Maybe I should have said "Mole Grips"?
Like the looks of the trueing stand. Very cool!Got my wheel truing stand finished today, and already used it. I took inspiration from the motion pro single sided stand, and simplified it. Indicator is mounted in a noga arm because it's the first mag base I grabbed, and the indicator because I haven't made a pointer yet.
Also got the gas heater in for the garage, just gotta buy some fittings and hose to hook it up.

Suggest that you use electric radiant safer and maybe cost effectiveYeah, it's ventless. I have a gas furnace and water heater in the garage, so already have flame. Plus I don't store chemicals inside due to the hazard around welding. And when it rains water comes under the door. It'll only be run to heat up the garage then shut down while I work.
I use electric to keep my shop at 70. Only 500sf. It's well insulated, costs around $100 a month in the winter.I used an electric in the past. It worked well, but it cost about $80 a month to keep the garage above freezing.
I have spent enough time working in the cold. Not going to do it if I don't have to.mmm 70f!
