    Wilton Bullet Vise date stamping. show yours with or without EXP on slide

    @G-ManBart... this is great. Slide is the whole round unit, there is a keyway cut in the bottom on the slide and on that is a key that is pinned there with two pins, and sometimes has a date stamp on it... I was confused eralier about "under" it etc, thinking I had to remove the key to look at...

    that must be the case... perhaps the runner was replaced at one time as I just looked under a mag glass and really not seeing even the faintest # stamps...

    Just to make sure I am understanding you... See this pic, this slide is not coming off without a fight, or maybe removing the two pins

    this is the slide? See my poke pin tool going down inside one of what I think are two little pins holding the slide in the keyway (no better word to describe?)

    I (miraculously) removed the inside vise nut pins, and so removed the nut, and even more miraculously, reinstalled them... I knew right away that was either going to work or be a complete disaster... but removing the slide is a puzzle to me.

    Hi, thank you, when you say, "bottom" of the slide, do you mean that I have to remove the slide to look underneath? and if so, how do I remove the pins holding the slide in place, (they are hollow)... do I need to drive them out? I took the whole vise apart yesterday, and cleaned all old...

    Hello everyone… hope it’s ok to post right here. I have a Wilton 9300 and it does not have a swivel base… just a round base with two 1/2”holes at 4” apart. Does anyone know if it can have a swivel? And any leads on sourcing a swivel base? Thank you! Jesse
