After cutting the pieces for my new jaws and seeing the fresh edges, I decided to go back to the original plywood. Turned out the quality of the new board (wood layers, gluing) was so utterly bad. So I dried, re-glued and clamped the original jaws. The only thing I used from the new material was...

Danke! Papa Wolf ist ein großartiger Mentor :-)

Gotta say now that I'm looking at all the parts... I really love and appreciate the simplicity of this construction. Hell I do love the whole thing! It's such brilliant industrial design... Knowing that something like this has gone from the markets forever, it hurts quite a bit.

Yeehaw! Got all four pins out with WD40, it just took a moment longer for it to unbake pins :D Removing the ones holding the crank from inside wasn't enough: the washers don't move past the thread, which is thicker than the unthreaded part of the shaft. All parts are intact bar one of the screws...

Thanks for helping out! Yes that's what I was hoping for initially until a closer look revealed another pin holding the crank shaft in place from inside the housing. This one as baked tight as well, and even harder to get to due to it's location:

Got a few questions regarding the 625. Other than the early American models where the Jaws were screwed on to sheet metal mounts, I've got these cast aluminum spacers. Now in order to get to the screws, I have to remove the cranks and crank shafts. However, the aluminum crank arms are held in...

I happen to have a 2440 mm x 1220 mm x 20 mm of these, originally bought to make new worktop for my Bosch PWB 600 from. The Bosch turned out to show so much structural wear and damage after a year of light use that I've started looking into workmates this summer － and just recently found a WM...

What I'd do in such a situation (and if color matching was important to me) is either: Remove a small part, e.g. a leg, and take it to a car painter. Afaik these guys have the best portfolios of colors applied to test surfaces (mostly samples) I could ever dream of. Have them take a look at the...

Thanks! And I got it for 10€ :-) It's not an E04 but E05. The only thing that's different from the E05 description on your website is the rests for the jaws: rectangular blocks just as with the E04, not dog bone shaped. No stamp on the footstep but a print on the bottom of the rear jaw saying...

Finally managed to find one here in Germany. European WM-625 Type 05. It's missing one of the sawhorse position feet and one of the lower feet's rubber boot caps. The jaws are 1" plywood but show quite some water damage, slight delamination in one spot and tons of glue, paint and even...
