I bought an Anant #52 1/2 quick action bench vise about 6 mo ago. The steel handle was bent slightly when I got it. I should have sent it back, but, I wanted to get it mounted, so I did.
The handle is bent just enough that it will not slide all the way through the spindle. It has gotten annoying enough that I want to straighten it. How can one of the round knobs on each end be removed? Are they screwed on, heat applied, welded? If I can get one knob off, I can take it to a machine shop and have it straightened.
