Does anyone know what years the Wilton Shop King 14’s were manufactured? Thanks in advance

Picked up this Craftsman drill press today for $150. Works perfectly. I might fiddle with the belt tension but so far so good !

Sweet! Thanks

Picked up this little vise today. Made in the USA is the only marking I can find. Anyone have any ideas? It seems to be quite high quality. Super smooth action. Anyone recognize this?

Welding will definitely work if the vise is forged and not cast.

You might be able to braze some round stock to it. I’ve never seen a repair like that on a post vise but I’m sure you could figure something out

Let me know

How much does the smaller one weigh and what are you looking to get?

Here is the small Vulcan I was given. I just threw the straps together and I’ll be bolting it to a big ponderosa round. There is 1” dense rubber under the anvil which hopefully will deaden sound to some degree. I think it should do the trick

I think you got a great deal. Everyone in my area seems to think any anvil is worth $1000 regardless of weight or condition

I made it a few hours without opening it. Lol It’s a vise. Tiny bit of surface rust on the anvil but otherwise perfect. Definitely the best Craigslist free item I’ve gotten

What if it’s a NOS Wilton that someone put in a Craftsman box… lol

I just picked up this unopened NOS craftsman for FREE… on Craigslist. I’m tempted to not even open it. What a find!

Thanks for all the info guys. 👍🏻

What paint did you use? I have a Paramo number 3 I’d like to restore. Also where do you find the jaws?
