re: MY 323 1/2x Athol vise. OK, I admit my ignorance. So what is a "lead thread", and what is a "spam hammer"? Thanks, Jwp

Re: Athol 323 1/2X Vise Thanks for the info Mark. Any thoughts about how best to sell this, once its cleaned up. Maybe what to expect to get for it?

I just came home with this old Athol 323 1/2X vise. I'll likely clean it up and try to pass it on. Does anyone have any ideas about the date range of manufacture for this thing? Thanks, jwp

I just came home with this old Athol 3 1/2" Vise. It's missing the pipe jaws but seems otherwise good. Anyone have an idea of the dates of manufacture of this thing? Thanks, Jwp

Re: Jaws for a vintage vise? Here's the before and after. After dis-assembly, this seems a much better crafted vise than my Desmond Simplex of the same era.

My bad...vise is actually a 506-51801. A 3 1/2" otherwise in great shape. Still looking for new jaws. Thanks, Jwp48

I just picked up a Craftsman/Columbian 506-50801 bench vise that I'ld like to rehab for my son. Anybody know of a site where I might find a replacement set of jaws? Thanks, Jwp48
