Broken vice on ego v2 >:(

I used two ton expoxy to repair it after I cleaned up around the crack with a dremel tool. We'll see how that works. I looked on the ego website and couldn't find an email or any info on repair/service or whatever. I don't feel like shipping it to Australia anyway and being I got the machine second hand I doubt replacing the front of the body would be free.

If not try 3M panel bond epoxy. The vise will break somewhere else before the epoxy will. I've put cars together with it.

Send me the old vise to take dimensions, I'll machine you one out of Aluminum if you are not in a rush. I'll do it for a bag of cheerios and shipping

Don't pass that up. It's too good. Custom half aluminum ego sounds awesome. Might run quieter too.

That's interesting Brian, only the other day I was mulling over adhesives that can successfully bond metal to metal in a situation where you can have temperature fluctuations and moving parts.
