Shoutout to the old guy at the Dayton shop who taught me to tram a vise by feel
Three years back I worked at a small job shop outside Dayton and the lead hand, Ray, made me tram vises with a piece of stock and a dead blow instead of an indicator. I thought it was dumb until he timed me, 40 seconds against my 4 minutes with the dial. He said the indicator lies to you once the vise jaws get chewed up and he was right about that. We still use indicators for the true stuff but that trick saves me a few minutes every setup. Anyone else learn from a guy who did it the old way and turned out to be right?
