That's why I did that first........read a thousand or so posts until my eyes were bleeding. I'm sure I missed it, but didn't find anything dealing with this topic specifically on a C-3 (if that's what I have). In fact I couldn't even get it to give me anything on C-3, C3, c3, c-3, Wilton C-3...

Thank you ragtop.......the C-3 is the big one (6"). Guess I'll pick up a swivel base for this one and see what happens.

Will a stationary Wilton bullet vise accept a swivel base or is the bottom of the swivel vise machined to accept the swivel base? I am working on what I believe is a C-3 (but not sure)....completely smooth bottom with a single centered dowel hole.

Can anyone tell me if a Wilton C-3 was ever sold original without a swivel base? What would have been the difference in the base machining itself between ones sold with a swivel base and ones sold without?

Sorry to bring up such an old thread. I have this same vise...only #101066 but date is stamped 10-80 so can it be a C-3 or some other model? Also looking for a couple of parts for it. It's not on a swivel base. Any help would be appreciated.

David or anyone......can you tell me if the body of a Clausing 1685 would interchange with that of a 1670? This was a great thread.....thanks
