The Unofficial Vise Parts Swap Thread.

[Turfbassert]

I have a Rock Island 504A. Works great and looks great. My only problem is I cant find the 4 screws that hold the jaw pads onto the vise. They seem specialized. The are machine screws but the taper under the head has a sharp/acute angle that I cant match up at a Hardware store. Any thoughts on where to acquire these. I know the threads are 1/4-20

Those screws are not available @ retail. Take a standard countersunk screw get it chucked in a drill press and use a file to change the angle. Work slow and you will be fine.

OR: contact Rev. Scott...

Picked up a 400s a while back and just took it all apart and got it unfroze. Realized it actually has what I believe is a 500 spindle, 1.5-2" longer than what it should be.

Before I go and shorten this spindle, figured I'd try to see if anyone has a 400 spindle to trade???

[Krr1967]

I think you're going have to do better than that.

Perhaps you should reference which nut and member your asking about?

[Retrosmith]

I'm looking for an old style swivel base also for a 4.5" Wilton (date code 1946) and a newer style 5" (date code 1978).

To replace this

I've also got this a 3" swivel to trade or sell.

I need a front collar for a parker 955, 5" jaw. It has one retaining screw and the necked portion of the main screw it fits over is ~1.5" in diameter. Any leads would be appreicated.

 

[joe.striper]

Make me a good offer and you can have it all.

looking for a base for 4" Yost machinist vise. They sell kits but a just need the base...

 

[97fordsuper]

Hey all, I am looking for a base for my Reed 406R. The top of the base has 4C-6 stamped in it and on the bottom it has what looks like 6-4C. Thanks for any help guys

I have a tired Rock Island 95 fixed base vise. The main nut is too far gone.

If you have a main nut that might work, let me know.

Otherwise, the rest of the vise parts need to find a good home.

Here is the leadscrew. It is 1" diameter shank and about 16" long in the shaft. It has a bit of wear in the threads:




The static jaw has a repaired foot. Seems to be a serviceable repair:



The dynamic jaw looks OK, needs some cleanup of course:



Let's see if these parts can bring a vise or two back to life. This vise does not owe me anything, I'd like to see the parts used by others, just need to figure out shipping or whatever. Feel free to PM me.

 

[jreb10]

I have a damaged vise that was included in an earlier deal. It is a Morgan 145, 5" jaw width. The static jaw was obviously damaged. Looking closer, it seems that they tried to repair it with a weld, but that eventually gave way too:




The dynamic jaw is not too bad, and fits pretty good into the static jaw with not too much play. The swivel base is intact as well. This was once a nice vise, and could be again.


Does anyone have a spare Morgan 145 5" static jaw lying around? Let me know if you do, as I intend to hang on to this vise for a long time until I can find one.

I need a front collar for a parker 955, 5" jaw. It has one retaining screw and the necked portion of the main screw it fits over is ~1.5" in diameter. Any leads would be appreicated.

Still looking for a front collar for a parker 955 or equivalent.

 

[David Jackson]

I have a Rock Island 573. Wonder if it should just go to the scrap metal yard or what. See photos.

 

[Outlawmws]

David, the biggest issue is that broken slide. Everything else is a reasonable fix. at a minimum, if you can't find a replacement slide, of don't want to trust a repair to the slide, the rest is parts that may save another vise or three...

 

[barry2wood]

Looking for main vise nut for 504 M2 columbian. Cast number 504-4. Also for swivel base. I think the 604 base will fit? Not 100% on that, someone know? Also what other vises use the 504-4 main nut. Thanks guys.

 

[ShadowRuleZ]

Looing for a Reed 5" (205) swivel base and a 4.5" Wilton jaw insert (9450).

 

[bluebolt]

Columbian vise parts.

603 Machinists swivel base vise, this vise was so rusty I think it was in a flood LOL. The main handle and screw are missing. The dyanamic and static jaws are pitted but otherwise OK. The "T" jaw inserts are smooth. The main nut looks good and the swivel base and T-bolt look good, the clamping nut works but has serious rust pitting.

203 1/2 combo vise. The pipe jaws are mising. The main nut is bad and I used the swivel base for my 603 1/2. The castings look good and the "T" jaw inserts have a little life left in them. The main screw looks good and the handle is pretty straight. Note the ACME threads on this are 7/8, not 3/4 like www.viceparts.com shows which probably means this is an earlier one.

Still available.

[woodworker4ever]

I'm having a difficult time finding replacement jaws for my craftsman model 51831 5-1/2" vise. Hole center is 3". I read on a forum that the Wilton jaw replacement #14500S41 would work. But it doesn't. The holes on it were 2-1/2" apart. Anybody have any suggestions? I understand that they're unavailable from Sears. Thanks,

 

[joe.striper]

parting out two vises:

Craftsman 5196 base, lock bolt, spindle nut. base may work on another vise.

Need a pair of jaws for my Craftsman 506.51810. Five incher, swivel base. The jaw inserts need to be .5" max by .75" min by 5" min, up to about 5 1/4". The screws are on 3" centers. The vise is a beater, but the jaw inserts are missing entirely. I could cut a pair out of some I-beam I have on hand, but I'd rather not spend the time if someone has a couple just lying around taking up space.

Please PM me with price - not looking for charity!

Thanks!

[balane]

I need a main nut for an older Yost 4" vise. The one I have is cracked. If anybody thinks they may have something that works please get in touch with me and I'll provide some details.

The thread on the spindle screw is ~0.7" diameter and there's roughly 7 threads per inch.

The nut's base is 2.87" long and 1.05" wide. The threaded barrel on the nut is 2.5" long.

Thanks.
