Mill Vise Speed Handle

I can't quite discern if the inserts are welded in or press fit in? where the hex inserts of the shelf or did you make them? Looks like it turned out well!

It looks like the inserts are cut off sockets?? The end one looks welded in the middle one looks pressed in???

But this is just my guess.
 
now that you say that, I was thinking that but didn't zoom in. When I zoomed in I could see stampings on it so I think you are right.

Ding Ding Ding! We have a winner. The sockets are Gear Wrench brand. I paid less than $10 for the pair on eBay. They parted off quite easily, didn't even need cutting oil. Doesn't really speak well for the alloy/heat treat. They were both press fit, but the center one was a heavier press and will not see as much load as the outer one, so I didn't bother to weld it.

As a bonus, I got to use my arbor press for the first time.
