Does anyone here have a 4" Wilton Cadet, and would be so kind as to tell me the diameter of the spindle handle? I have a client that needs a new one, and I want to be sure that the diameter of 0.500 is correct. thanks!

haha yeah good point. Oh well, I'll make some out of bronze as well.

The intersting thing is that i've had several requests for Brass handles, I guess people just made the assumption

Wow thank you! I’ve got several drawings, but you got a few here I haven’t gotten around to making up, thank you!

that is awesome! Thanks for point that out, I thought it was brass. Did Wilton issue the washers under the handles from the factory?

Here are 1/2-13 thread, brass swivel base handles that are designed to replicate the style Wilton used on the early 1940' fishhook style vises that I made. Let me know what you think!

Thank you! I’ll give that a try!

That’s a great idea! Thanks for sharing, I’ll try acetone first and see if that works

Here is my Reed 405 that had a swivel jaw pin, stuck swivel jaw, swivel base, and swivel base center pin before and after pictures. The little that is left of the red paint I removed, i'll probably have to attack it with paint thinner or something like that as a wire wheel just isn't getting it...

I'm not sure, i've not tried that. I was just told to never do it again. lol.

Hey all, if anyone is ever looking for the rubber bumpers/stoppers for their vise spindle handle I supply them here. Check it out if your interested. I also have many other products for vises as well.

Very cool! You did an excellent job!

Beautiful job! What did you use for the filler? Weld? If so, did you preheat it?

Yes, thanks for all the help! I might need some pointers on freeing up the swivel jaw, but i'll keep everyone posted along the way

yeah that is what worked in the end, first soaked in vinegar overnight, then I hammered on it with a pair of hand vise grips, and then I justed the drag link socket.

First I soaked it overnight in vinegar, then I hammered on it with a pair of hand vise grips and a 4 pound hammer, then I tool that drag link socket and used a 1/2" air wrench. That is what snapped it, but luckly it loosened it up enough that I was able to move it and gently tap it out with a...

Yeah very very tight, good old vinegar definitely helped loosen it up!

Yep, I got it from McMaster Carr and thankfully the agreed to replace it right away with free shipping too.
