HDL(M)6 Nut/Screw Assembly
Remove, repair, and reassemble the nut and screw assembly in your HDL
series double lock vise.
In these instructions when we refer to the “front” of the vise or nut/screw
assembly, we mean the end that has the hex for the handle and is closest to
the operator. The end that is farthest from the operator is considered the
“rear”.
(Numbers in parentheses reference the mechanical drawing on the last page.)
Removing the nut and screw assembly from your vise
1.
Remove the rear moveable jaw from your vise.
2.
Remove the button head cap screw (#28) from the front end of the
vise body.
3.
Place a spacer block between the stationary jaw and the front
moveable of the vise. Place your handle on the hex end of the lead
screw (#7) and turn clockwise to draw the jaws together. As the front
jaw tightens on the block, continue turning. This will push the holding
block (#17) out of the vises center channel
.
A small rubber spring pre-
load block (#34) and steel wedge friction clamp (#33) will fall out of
the holding block (#17) when it is clear of the vise.
4.
Once the holding block (#17) is free of the vise remove your spacer
block, the remaining moveable jaw, and the stationary jaw.
5.
Remove the chip guards (#46 & 47)
6.
Slide the nut and screw assembly toward you until it is all the way out
of the vise body.
