I bought these 2 vises and I'd like some info on the bigger one. The bigger vise has 5 inch jaws. It is a monster. Date code of Jan 1970. Its missing one pipe jaw and the end cap. No swivel base. The pins that hold the nut in have been messed with by a previous vise-butcher, who also...

Some time ago I came across this Wilton 3" Machinist vise dynamic jaw. I'm trying to find the body and nut, aka static jaw, so I can make a complete vise. Anybody got one?

I have a Wilton 3" dynamic jaw, with the screw, horse-shoe washer, etc. in good condition. I'm looking for the static jaw. Anybody got one? Beat-up is OK. Here is a picture of what I have. I need the body for a 3" Wilton machinist vise.

Seller says this is a Wilton machinist vise swivel. Hmmmm. Wilton Swivel Base?

Saw this sad ******* on the local CL for $75. Seller claims it's an easy fix. Wilton 4" Vise

It appears 43-45 seconds into the video:

I bought this Milwaukee 5925 belt sander 10-15 years ago, but generally used another Milwaukee belt sander while this one sat on a shelf in my workshop. But I want to use it to touch up some new flooring I've installed and the sanding belt is slipping on the rubber-covered drive cylinder. I...

I bought this D.P. in January from a flipper who got it at the auction of a machine shop that went out of business. The flipper put it on ebay, but claimed to know nothing about it. I asked several times what voltage the motors were, but he didn't know how to find out. His pictures were poor...

I bought an almost new Bostitch BTFP12569 flooring nailer from a guy who used it to put down some flooring in his store. It was in the original box, box and nailer look new and the nailer worked great. I'm using it to install 3-1/4" wide red oak T&G flooring. I've got about 450 sq. feet...

Can anyone tell me anything about this Craftsman No. 1 wrench? When did they make these, etc. I picked it up many years ago... probably paid $1 for it. It is 10 inches long, the body and ends are thin--the ends are 1/8th inch thick, and it's 7/16ths on one end and 17/32nds on the other end...

I have this Wilton 3" machinist vise that I'm working on. It seems longer than a previous 3" machinist vise that I owned a few years ago, but later sold. Did Wilton make different versions of the 3" machinist vise? The other one was a Chicago vise, while this one is a Schiller Park vise, if...

Went to Ye Olde Junke Yard this morning. Found this 3" Wilton machinist's vise for $5. The horse shoe shaped retainer on the front of the dymanic jaw is missing. And there is no swivel base, but I didn't complain. I ran the screw all the way out and back in, and the threads looks in excellent...

Found this at the local scrap yard for a few bucks. Looked to me like it spent a long time in standing water. Some plumber probably dropped it on a job. It was totally locked up when I got it. I couldn't turn the handle at all. After a few days in the electrolysis tank, it looked like this...

I've had this radiator fill spout for years. It's solid brass. Can anyone identify the maker? The cast logo is an S inside a 6-sided border.

I restored an old Famco, ship's wheel arbor press, with a 28" ram, and I need to broach a 1/4" keyway in a pulley. Anybody done this before?

Ok, I know it's a hammer, but for what trade?

So I am wondering if good old ether starting fluid will kill coronavirus like 91% alky will. Local Walmart is sold completely out of alky, but they have lots of ether starting fluid. Any M.D.s here?

There is a MESTA 50,000 ton press in Cleveland. It was installed in the 1950's and in 2008 was rebuilt. Here's a great video on it. There's another 50,000 ton press in the U.S., but I don't know where it is. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hpgK51w6uhk"...

I bought an odd table saw from a museum. This had been sitting in a pile of other things and they threw this in. Obviously it's a shear of some kind. Anybody know what it was used for? It's about a foot long, and the movable stop goes from 0 to 5-1/2 inches. The only I.D. is it says...

I'm rebuilding the motor on a Comet Cub. Pulled the rotor out and it's blue, as if it has been overheating. It is a brushed motor, made to run on 110 VAC, but will also run on DC if needed. I have always run my Comets on 110 VAC. What would cause this? I've not used this Comet Cub for many, many...
