I found this Little Columbian #63 1/2 Red Arrow. First one I’ve seen without the locking bars all bent up. Looks like the previous owner used it to hold painting items. I considered stripping the entire vise, but I actually like the character it has. I gave it a quick scrub with Simple Green...

My hope is for a dual volt M18 table saw. Also hoping for the 10” Miter Saw to have kit + 1 extra battery deal back at Home Depot soon.

That’s the Kobalt rack, right? Looks great! What are the dimensions of your box? I’m looking at building the same thing.

How do you get the coupon code? Newsletter? My main concern is getting the miter saw with at least 2 9ah batteries. My hope is to maximize savings or get more tools on hand. I’m curious what the HD Black Friday sale will look like for the miter saw

Nothing Fuel. The recip Saw is tempting as I don't have one, but it's not really needed right now. I'm wondering what they'll do for black Friday? They might pair the Miter Saw with the metal stand

So my local Home Depot has a sale $599 for cordless miter saw kit with 2 batteries and get a free tool: (M18 Sawzall, circular Saw, Tower light, another batter) Worth getting? Better to wait for Black Friday sale? A wash?

So small, and adorable!

Seems all the vise junkies are hanging out in this thread. I’m currently restoring a Columbian 604 Vise. I started a blog thread here: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=6772605&posted=1#post6772605 Can anyone help me with some markings on the vice? Attached pictures and links...

Can anyone help me with some markings on the vice? Attached pictures and links to higher res. Dynamic Jaw: has a “Z” stamped on the underside. Any idea what it represents? http://i.imgur.com/7rgZbMg.jpg Base of swivel: underside has 604-3, assuming that’s the model. Could -3 be a variant or...

Looks like that’s exactly what it was. I took a brilo pad and simple green and cleaned off the slide to find plenty of dings hidden under the gunk. Going to spend some time carefully filing and see if she will slip out. Shame the ol’ girl was abused.

Happy Weekend Gents, I’ve disassembled the vise almost completely. I can’t get the dynamic jaw all the way out of the static jaw. I’ve loaded her up with WD40 and used a block of wood on the back, but can’t seem to drive it all the way free. I’ve removed the main screw and put it back in to try...

Anyone have the Milwaukee 30inch tool chest? Worth it? Thinking of getting one for the garage. Might cave and buy a Husky.

Doubt I'll find it for that at my local stores.:( Probably going to have to wait and hope Black Friday has a two battery combo deal.

Do you have SKU? I may go investigate. Hoping they bundle a 2nd separate battery for Black Friday. I might also consider the metal saw stand.
