ed4banger....I like that restored Craftsman! Well done!

That's a nice one! Also it reminds me to ask the group here: what is the significance of the star, if any, on the Fulton vises? The Fulton 19 I worked on had one as well. I think I've seen a nearly identical star on other manufacturers vises too?

My Fulton 19 has the dynamic connected to the main screw inside the dynamic main body via a collar that has a set screw.

Anyone have Parker 49x and can give me the length of an original 49x handle?

double post

Posted originally in the "Vises of GJ" thread, but thought I'd post here as well for some feedback. My current project: A Parker 49x. It came without a handle. Not surprisingly it had a spot in the thread, about as long as the nut, that was binding pretty tight, where I'm assuming some heavy...

My current project: A Parker 49x. It came without a handle. Not surprisingly it had a spot in the thread, about as long as the nut, that was binding pretty tight, where I'm assuming some heavy hammering did it's dirty work. The thread showed some flattened spots in this section. I tried...

Drivesitfar: The jaws on that Fulton 19 are not removeable. I studied it awhile wondering what I was missing, but interweb research supported this to be consistent with similar Fulton vises. I guess there was a technique to cast previously manufactured hardened jaws into the two jaws being...

wbarnes....That turned out great! And I like the color

Here it was after clean up and wire wheel. The collar sitting on top of the slide is normally nested inside the dynamic jaw. The screw slides through this collar and a set screw in the collar tightens it down. This is what allows the dynamic jaw to open as the screw is loosened. The set...

Thanks! It's a Fulton 19, 3.5" jaws if I remember correctly. I'd have to get weight and jaw opening measurement next time I visit home.

Nice job bringing them back into service!
