    I also made some improvements to this.

    Piece of angle iron is used as a longer lower jaw.

    Clamped it to the pipe vise, then i weld it from both sides to lower part of the vise.
    Then i made the opening for the upper / sliding jaw with angle grinder. This way it comes straight.

    Before welding, i ensured that new longer jaw, and the bottom of the vise are at same level.

    This longer jaw gives better support, and it works specially well when used in drilling.

    Centering is fast and result reliable: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=433030261135150

    PS. Paint, " lightning " is made by pouring solvent on top of the dry base coating, then solvent is spread by spraying it with compressed air. Top coating is spread on top of solvent, before it evaporates.

    That was just one experiment. Result seems to last, and paint stays well.

    I did.

    I had some issues with a YouTube video clip too..
    So there's a short clip linked from my FB page.

    It just shows drilling through centered pipe.
