[Shop] milling vise is back

[MikeP]

Hello

As I see the milling vise is back to our workshop.
Few questions regarding this event.

#1. It was very good to know that vise were taken for servicing.
 Thank you Misha for letting us know about this, it helped me to avoid an unpleasant surprise (when you came for milling and milling machine is out of order).

#2. The vise is back. Are they back in order? Is it OK to use it?

#3. Who did repair the vise, who paid for the repairment? who paid for parts?
Yes, I can guess who is this guy, but I want to know, not to guess.
Life taught me that it is not such thing like 'free lunch'
Google taught me that if service is free for you - you are the service.
So I always what to know "who is paying for a party?"
Somebody bought and replaced sanding belt and disk on sanding machine in our workshop.
Who is that guy?

As far as board of directors does not care about workshop specific needs (I am not saying that it is bad, it is actually right, everybody should take care about themselves first), should we take care about our needs in our hands?
One way or another we must (we will be forced) to take care about aging equipment and consumable materials, so I am suggesting to do it on sober-minded/planned basis rather then on ad hoc emergency basis.
