Shane I know very little about Wilton except that I alway wanted a Wilton Vise and now I have one, which I plan to restore. I do not know the dimensions of the base for your 825. The stamped date is 277, which is Februrary 1977.

Welcome aboard Shane. I too found a nice Wilton 450N, which dates back to Feb 1977 on craigslist last weekend for $50. See pic, george

Nice vise. Could be a 400S.

You did well for only $5. I paid $50 for mine last Friday (23 Sept 11), which I'm very excited about. pfbz, I'm thinking of restoring my Wilton. Where can I get the original color green paint and new jaws? george

The Wilton Vise I purchased last Friday (23 Sep 11) has a date stamped on the bottom key, which reads "277". Someone on another thread identified it as a 450N model. It's stamped with a 60176 after Schiller Park, Ill. Jaw with is 4.5". It will open to 7.75". It does not have a swivel...

I found a 4.5" Wilton vise on craigslist for $50 last Friday. See pic. george :)

Great looking Wilton vise.

I have a 2005 Dodge 3500 dually 4WD. I never have to lift it to change oil. I just crawl under it with a drain pan. Dodge 4x4 are so high off the ground that one doesn't have to lift them. My Dodge has OEM wheels and tires and no lift kit. It's completely stock.

The jaws are 4 1/2" wide. By the way, I flipped the jaws upside down and reinstalled. them Now they look like new jaws on the top side. If the model of this Vise is a 450N, what does 60176 mean?

Thank you all for all the "you ****". I'm starting to catch on to the Garage Journal lingo and I like it. I pulled the jaw off and found a date stamped on the key at the bottom of the 2 3/8" round tube. That number is 277, which means Febuary 1977. I assume it's the date it was made and not...

Thank you, that sounds more assuring.

Thank you. Can the average Joe figure out how to take it apart. I've never had a Wilton before, but always wanted one. george

As you can see by my 1st post I'm new to this site and I have no idea what you mean by your post. I hope it's a friendly site. george

I purchased an old Wilton vise for $50, which is $10 less than the seller wanted because it doesn't have a swivel base. It is a machinist vise and it's banged up a bit. The screw works great without a glitch. It will open to almost 8" and weighs 62 lbs, not 80 lbs like the seller advertised...
