Do you have a main screw that will fit a Reed 206 vise, for sale? Thanks Don

Thanks for the caution about leaving it in the acid too long.

Jack, Thanks. I'll go to Home Depot to get phosphoric acid.

The Reed vise lead screw is extremely rusted. Can sand blast the screw to try and get it to turn or will it ruin the threads? Or any suggestions. I had the vise in an electrolysis bath with 2 battery chargers for 2 full weeks.

OK, thanks.

I am also restoring a Reed 206 vise with very corroded lead screw. It is so rusty that it may not be salvageable, for sure will not turn. I was able to get the main nut pin out. Can I drive the nut and the lead screw assembly out of the dovetail forward or will it only come out backward on this...

thanks this gives me a direction to proceed

I am restoring an old vise my Dad bought over 50 years ago. The main nut is missing. Are all the main screws and nuts interchangeable? Where can I buy a replacement main nut?
