The front face is mounted. I need to attach the chain cover, then disassemble everything, drill dog holes, finish plane the jaws then apply the oil finish.
The tolerance on the holes was much larger than I thought. I put way to much effort into straightening the holes.
There are 3/8ths pins that keep what ever you clamp from resting on the screws. The instructions indicate that you are to drill holes for these pins on the inside face of the rear jaw tangent to the screw hole. The screws that mount the nuts on the backside of the rear jaw poked into the hole. My solution was to shorten the pins.
