The Unofficial Vise Parts Swap Thread.

[drewzfoster]

Looking for a swivel base for a Wilton 5” 101043. Thanks!

You may have seen the Parker 976 that i posted in the "Vises" thread. It had the slide welded up. During the cleanup, I can see that it is beginning to crack again. Let me know if you need any parts. It is the later Parker (Union manufacturing). Everything cleaned up quite well the only bad part is the dynamic jaw/slide. Everything else is good....swivel base, lead screw/nut, etc. Hopefully, the parts can help put another vise back into service. These are the only photos (before electrolysis) that I have right now.

Do you still have the parts from this vise? I have a 207 that needs a new main nut and handle and through my research I think the 976 is the same vise just a bit newer... both weigh 157lbs are 6” vises with 10-1/2” opening lengths. If someone has a good main nut please let me know, I’m currently looking into making a new handle with peened ball ends so if someone also knows the proper length of a 207 or 976 handle I would appreciate that information as well. Thanks

Interested in Charles Parker wrench marked "No 1", should be for a 15/16 inch nut? Would also buy stud/nut and the wrench if someone happens to have both for sale.

I am looking for a Wilton C1 Bullet Combo Pipe and Bench vise (date stamp = July 1981) stationary jaw. As you can see from the photos, the bottom of the stationary jaw has a large chunk out of it. This only affects the last 1" of the slide; otherwise it has all the other parts and works perfectly. I thought there may be a member who has a lonely solid Wilton C1 stationary jaw out there. I would be happy to purchase/trade to convert this C1 into its former glory. At least we can make one good C1 Wilton vise made out of two partial ones. If I cannot restore it, I would sell/trade all the other parts of this Wilton C1 vise. Please let me know. Thanks.

Guys,

I'm still looking for a swivel base for a Craftsman 5160 (aka Rock Island 571) vise.

If anyone has one out there or any suggestions on where to find one or the likelihood (or not) please let me know! Also, a swivel base from a Rock Island 571 base (part # 71C stamped on bottom of vise base) is the same base that I need.

Thanks!

Update: I've got a RI 571 base now.

I'm looking for the swivel base mount for a 1950s Wilton Shop King. If anyone has one or even the entire vise please let me know!

Pretty sure Kevin doesn't do tee shaped jaws.

Can you get your current jaws milled flat and just used them as smooth jaws?

Hey, everyone. I'm looking to complete a vise for my brother. I need the base for a Craftsman 391-5180.

I am looking for a dynamic jaw for a Starrett Athol 323-1/2. I may be willing to part this out please let me know if you need something.

Thanks!

 

[12vx2]

Mr. W,
the circular aspect of the fixed base of my 923 is 5 1/4" diam.
If the top of your swivel base is 5 1/4" or slightly smaller,
I could use the entire swivel base assembly.

I will take a look as soon as I get a chance.

Wow if we're asking for stuff on here...


I want the swivel base for a Starrett 923

 

[Jer218]

Does anyone have parts for an Athol 623 1/2? bought one at an auction for 5 bucks. (was rusted and locked up) got it apart, and it is missing the parts on the screw to make the jaw move back. thinking some kind of washer and pin? I can't find any pictures or youtube videos that show what it is supposed to look like. will post some more pictures of the restoration as I get further along.

I don't know how much difference there is between a 623 1/2 and a 923 1/2. I am guessing the pipe jaw option. I will see what mine has when I get a chance to check the swivel base out for 12vx2.

 

[454ragtop]

I have a Reed # 24 Utility vise, main body has been welded on 1 side. Weld looks very good, probably outlast the rest of the vise, but I'm going to offer it for parts. Sell the whole vise for $25. or let me know what parts you need. Have some parkers that need collars, if you have one I can use could work out a trade as well. Still looking for a reed 203 static jaw/main body, would trade for one of those as well. Can get more/better pics if desired.

I have both an Athol 613 1/2 and a 90 and each are still very similar in design and also have the same pinned part for the screw, but since neither of these are swivel base I wouldn't know if it helps, but I'll share the pics anyways.

Some used a spring, washer, and retaining pin, some pics on this page https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=6874788&highlight=Athol#post6874788
Some used a little clip, held in place with a small screw inside the slide.
If there is enough room inside the slide, you could also use a common shaft collar, as used on a lot of other brand vises.

 

[Jer218]

Thanks for the info. I will pick up some shaft collars from work and see if they do the trick.

 

[scotts_4x]

Anybody have or know where I can get a swivel lock nut for a columbian 603? Parts from another vise cross over? I don't have the vise in my hands yet to check the dia/pitch of the threads.

Hey guys may be along shot but I'm looking for a main screw and screw nut for a Reed 104 1/2. Picked up from a real cool older gentleman who shared history of the vise. The screw and nut are toast but the jaws and body are in real good shape. Would like to get her back up and running.

tphunter,

Not sure if the parts interchange, but I have a Reed 104R that I have listed locally for $80 that has an (albeit good) braze repair to the slide/dynamic jaw.

If you'd be interested in it, let me know,

I just obtained a Columbian 604 vise (marked 604-2 inside the static casting) This is in great shape, no bent handles, little wear from usage over the years but no signs of abuse. The jaws are pinned and not attached with screws.

The only Issue I have are the jaws; they are smooth and no indication that they were ever not this way. Is there any way to fix this other than finding a replacement set?

I currently have this vise apart and getting rid of paint and surface rust. I plan on a repaint once I figure out what to do about the jaws.

I would leave them smooth. I have found more often than not I am covering the teeth on my jaws. It just depends on what your are holding. I also like them because they are less common. You could try to hand file teeth in but that would probably be very difficult on hardened steel jaws.

You are probably right about the smooth jaws. Most of the covers that I have found so far are made to compensate for jaws with rough teeth. (Aluminum, brass, etc.). Probably not much available to do the reverse. I will live with this for a while with smooth jaws and see how it works.

 

[Outlawmws]

RW, are the jaws by chance reversible? some makes/models were for smooth and toothed...

No, there are not. They are pinned in much like a Parker. I like the vise and If I have a need for a toothed jaw I could use my old Columbian.

 

[tool_scrounge]

Well I picked up a Columbian 504M vise with a broken leadscrew. Due to the handle being in great shape it does not look to be over torqued. The nut also looks fine. But the castings have been beat on a bit.

So I am looking for a replacement screw assembly (7/8" diameter thread, 4 acme threads per inch). So if you have one, please let me know. Without a handle is fine.

Thanks

I might have one... I got a 604 (swivel base, same otherwise) that was in a fire and has just been on the parts shelf. send me a message this weekend when I'm at my shop and I'll dig it out

I had the same vise with smooth jaws. They sold them that way. I actually like smooth jaws since most things I do are repairing things that I don’t want to mar up.

Anyone have a swivel base for a 6” Athol or Starrett? Thanks guys.

 

[bagged89s10]

Hey, just looking for parts for a Wilton Shop King #13-633. Need a clip on the front jaw on the leadscrew, jaw inserts/plates and the swivel knob on the base. Please let me know if there are any ideas.

Thanks,
