Okay, I've a problem and maybe some of you can help out. The midge head on my Thompson has a tiny chip which doesn't effect the vises ability to hold say size 20 and larger. However, it continuously spits sizes 26 and smaller. Is there a way to grind down the inside of the jaws or get them more pointed so these tiny hooks can hold better?

Also, I have a tiny 'midge head', the kind you insert into the jaws of a vise. It has a very pointed tip for the tiny hooks but the collet doesn't close the jaw tips enough to hold the same tiny hooks. Any advice on how to fix that?

Not looking for suggestions leading to a Renzetti, Regal midge, HMH, etc. Just looking for potential answers to the questions I posed.

Thanks.
