    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Forgot to mention my 5153 craftsman made by RI. Stripped and ready to paint. Really debating on color choice for this one. This will be my new daily driver if you will. The Columbian is a 4 in I’m restoring for my dad. Anyone have light blue hammered? Wish I could find it in stock… that would...

    Mounting Bench Vise

    Why thank you sir! I wanted to mount a “forever” vise on the new top. I have not picked this one up yet, but I believe it is indeed on top of the slide. I’ll take detailed pics when I receive it for you! She weighs in right at 72 lbs

    Mounting Bench Vise

    Hey guys! So I have searched and cannot seem to find the answer. I bought this vise from an awesome vise restorer in Akron, OH and I was wondering if the "ears" or 2 holes off the swivel base go in the front or rear? I bought a new work bench ($$$$) and I want to make sure before I drill the...

    Shaft Collar on Columbian 504 Bench Vise

    Anyone know if there is a specific website where I can purchase this? It is the collar or shaft collar just inside the slid next to the handle. It seems to have a 7/8 ID and 13/16 wide w/ set screw in place. I had to drill the set screw out so it is not in the best of shape. Would Ace have...

    Help me on the history of this Wilton Bullet Vise?

    Here is the odd thing.... I cannot find information anywhere in regards to this rebranded Wilton (I know Napa/Balkamp) but is this legit? Appears to not have ever been used and she is asking $300 local pick up. What do you guys think?

    Did I get a pretty good deal? Vintage 504 M Bench Vise

    Thanks! I have been lurking GJ for the past 15 years but finally decided to join. I feel like I am never that guy to get a solid deal, and for once, I believe I have! I have a few other vises in the works. I mainly use the China made HF Doyle vise for the bulk of my vehicle work + will use it...

    Did I get a pretty good deal? Vintage 504 M Bench Vise

    Hi all! I found this beauty on Craigslist listed for $65... was able to get it for $50. It is a 1925-1926 Columbian (with "HDE" stamped) 504 M fixed base vise. No cracks or previous repairs- only thing I found was that the rear of the beam was bent in a little (not affecting the use of it- was...
