Does anyone have an EMMERT machinist vise they are willing to trade?
(Or an EMMERT (or any other brand) Patternmakers Vise, for that matter...)

I WILL MAKE IT WORTH YOUR WHILE!

Let me know, Thanks Fella!
Take Care!

Zoomie. I have a lot of pieces and parts for the Emmertts but not enough to have a whole vise. If anyone needs something PM me and I'll see if I can help you out.

Anybody got any tips on Reed "R" vises on getting the screw that keeps the split nut collar from turning out? I have been working on my 203 1/2R for a while now, Kroil, propane torch and hand impact driver and no luck.

Is there a Wilton swivel base I can use to turn my 800N into a swiveler? Is there any casting differences between the body of an 800N vs an 800S or is it just the addition of the swivel?

Also, I'm in need of a swivel base for a Reed 406. The old girl I have has a busted base.

The 800N and S have the same body. Send Autopts here a PM, he can probably get you a swivel base assembly. Just know the large Wilton swivel bases aren't super robust, and have been known to crack.

Is it just cracked or are there chunks missing?

I'm still curious what you are getting, West of I-69...?

I'm not buying anything locally as far as vises right now, so no worries there, I won't horn in on your deal anyway, not my style...
But, I am going to "ANVIL HEAVEN" this weekend to pick up a couple of things, if you are interested, let me know...

Take Care!!!
Mike

BTW, I am picking up these...:bounce:

Try to soak it in a 50/50 acetone/transmission fluid mix. Or electrolysis tank

The other day I ran across a 6" FPU. First time I seen one in the wild. Today I bought a different one. It has a cracked collar, no biggie.

If it's cast iron, and I like it... I OWN IT, VA, LOL!
I will take your advice, at least it's not a bunch of HUGE ROCKS, take care of that back, SIR!

I think I will put Blacksmith hammers in one and PEXTO tools and Hardies in the other...
Or firewood, if my girl gets her way, LOL!:lol_hitti

Take Care, My Friend!

Did you loosen the side set screw that keeps it in place? Dumb question, I know.

I sent you a PM the other day. I'm going to look at several things, but the really interesting thing is an 8" Fisher & Norris double-screw chain drive vise :beer:

You want one like this??? I have had 3 the last few years. There is one 1/2 mile from me the guy wont sell...

I do still have an Emmert K1000 vise I have no love for, if that interests you let me know. Unrestored.

That's the style I'm looking for, JOE.

I'd love to have KEVIN fit a set of swivel jaws to one of those, I just have never seen one for sale "complete". Those OEM swivel jaws must be the rarest "part number" in all of VISEDOM!

I've got 3 EMMERT patternmakers vises and am working on a deal for a 4th. I am always interested, because I have three, 15' long bowling lanes and I would like a complete set of EMMERTS mounted to one of them. Unfortunately shipping has halted a lot of deals for me...

Take care!
Mike
