    Yea I know. I was only kidding. The ebay description says 8", and from my documentation it is a 6". 926 numbering tells me so. It must be the coldest time of the year to travel to Maine.

    What is there to clean? I think it looks awesome the way it is. Maybe grease the lead thread. The spam hammer doesn't look like a hammer.

    This Athol, missing the base, so PASS. Nonetheless is an odd ball size. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-BENCH-VISE-Rare-ATHOL-MACH-CO-No-684-Mass-5-Jaws-98lbs-/361225543838?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item541ab8609e It is a 5 1/2 inch vise. Even though it measures closer to 5.25".

    I'm a DIY person. Building parts then assemble to final product. Last time I needed the vise was for my transformer. I wanted Molex connectors. The male female connectors from mouser/digikey are on a strip of metal. Without the vise it would have been a pain to remove each part. Every once...

    Unbelievable! You ****. I have a 613 for strictly electronic work. Awesome. Does this look familiar? Not many great shape Reeds in this area. imo, the price is right, but no one is buying. It has been on sale for a while. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/tls/4890062386.html

    Body Makers Vise Compare to the 624 1/2. It is much smaller in size and weight. Not your typical stout Athol. Smaller handle as well.

    When Athol move away from those unidentifiable number to something that can make sense to the buyer. They did a few things. 1.) The last number is now the jaw size 2.) new version use a 90 degree angle on the vise so the user does not have to cut a hole 3.) new versions use a spring and cotter...

    Agree. There are plenty of 3 - 4.5 " vises all over. Anything 5" or greater begin to get difficult. My latest find. Athol 615 $100 This is not your average 615. The handle is shorter than the 624 1/2. The predecessor to the 615 was the #93. I think this vise was built in the transition...

    Vise rust removal but keeping the paint

    Thank you Ronniexj for purchasing that vise. The seller kept on dropping the price, and I started to worry. I'm so happy you bought it. I have found electrolysis can get rid of most of the paint, but not all. There have been spots that will not go away on some of my projects. :dunno: Not...
