This is the 2nd time in several years this has happened to my Record 52 1/2 vise. The end cup came off the two bars. I was putting some pressure on it for sure. Was that too much? How do you know when to stop putting pressure on the handle? I can tap the metal cup with the shallow well for the bar back onto the bar and perhaps be back in business. I don't remember what I did last time...too many years ago. Is there something else I should do to prevent this from happening in the future. Seems like an awfully easy system that would be prone to come apart with minimal pressure.
