    Prentiss no. 21 Vise Parts?

    Looking at some pictures online it would appear that the knob is just peened onto the pin, no fastener holding it. Can anyone who has seen one of these in person confirm that, it is actually threaded onto the pin?

    Unfortunately not, Oregon is a bit far but if I'm ever out that way I'll give you a shout! No worries, I appreciate you offering and looking for it.

    Prentiss no. 21 Vise Parts?

    I saw that in the patent design. The knob would definitely be functional and it would be much easier to reproduce. Now I need to find a lathe or make friends with someone who has one lol.

    Prentiss no. 21 Vise Parts?

    I don't really have a favorite tool, but if I had to throw away all of my tools and could only keep one, it'd be this vise. It's been around since I've been a kid and it gets used all the time. Both swivels were totally locked up until a few years ago when I decided to take it apart and clean...

    Milwaukee Power Tools Deal Permathread

    Any existing deals/preferred vendors for an M18 Fuel 3/8 impact? I've been asking way too much of my 1/4 hex impact driver lately, though it takes it with only minimal complaining.

    Prentiss no. 21 Vise Parts?

    I can take it apart tomorrow and get my micrometer. If I had a lathe I could make one in probably an hour. Oh, how I wish I had a lathe.

    Prentiss no. 21 Vise Parts?

    I have the pin, it is inside the vise so mine is locked in place. I can take the vise apart and get some dimensions on it, maybe someone with a lathe can turn a couple of them. The handle/lever is a different story though.

    Prentiss no. 21 Vise Parts?

    The handle was always missing so unfortunately I don't have it. I do have a picture of the pin from when I had the vise disassembled. Its not a great picture, but it's what I've got on hand.

    I use my 10 inch Cobras all the time but I'm eager to pick up a pliers wrench and the mini bolt cutters.

    Prentiss no. 21 Vise Parts?

    I've got this Prentiss Vise that came with the work bench it is mounted on; my Dad bought it at a yard sale back in the 70s. It is a Prentiss no. 21 Swivel jaw, swivel base. Both the base and the swivel jaw were frozen when he bought it and they were frozen until I few years ago when I decided...

    The VINTAGE toolboxes of Garage Journal!

    I bought this one a couple months ago. The bottom box says 10 of 1973, the top is 6 of 1966. I've got these two boxes as well. They belong to my Dad. They are pretty beat up but I like them. I fixed up the gray one a few years ago but it gets used and it is looking rough again. I love the...

    Got a "new" toolbox for the garage. Its an older Craftsman 26" box with a top box. The top and bottom boxes have different dates, one is 1960s and one is 1970s.

    Between 485 & 705 SQ/FT The Garage Ma-hell, My Garage and the Projects Within

    I bought a Dodge Ram pickup to tinker with. Its a 1997 2500 with a 12 Valve Cummins and an Auto. It needed a good bit of work. I fixed some transmission stuff, patched up the floor, replaced the broken dash, replaced all of the hydroboost components, put new shocks, steering linkage and a bunch...

    Hi all. Been a bit since I've posted here. Bought and sold a few projects, still have some others around. Did a full rebuild on this Stihl 066 chainsaw. Powdercoated the cases, new bearings, seals, piston, plastics and other stuff. Stayed all OEM with this one.

    Hi all, been a bit since I updated. I still haven't changed out those seals in my Cub Cadet. I have been playing around with my chainsaw collection a bit. I have an extensive collection of saws. I just recently acquired a Husqvarna 262XP and a Stihl MS261. I did some cosmetic stuff on the 262XP...

    Williams Torx and Hex Sockets

    I was going through my tool box last night taking an inventory of what is missing, broken, and worn out and my Torx and hex sockets are looking a bit weary. I have a few sets, each one is about ten pieces or so. One set is Pittsburgh Harbor Freight and the other two are Gearhead brand which used...

    The VISES of Garage Journal

    Here is mine. Its a Prentiss No. 21 swivel jaw, swivel base. My dad bought it back in the 70s for $25 and it came with the workbench it is mounted on. Both swivels were frozen solid until a couple years ago when I disassembled the whole thing and soaked it in Evaporust. The front edge is...

    mig Welder recommendation?

    I really like my Hobart Handler 140. I run it with gas and .024 wire. I need to spend some more time with it dialing it in, but it is a great machine.
