Couldn’t find any more markings on this Bison Bial (thanks JKB for the name). 8” jaws 25” long and 118 lbs. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

PghJKB, Thanks for the info. I knew it was a milling vise just wasn't sure who/where it came from. It is massive. I will be sure to get some more history on it with the information you provided. $35.....figured I couldn't go wrong.

Can someone educate me on this beast? Just grabbed it today as a target of opportunity while picking up the butcher block in the background.

Picked these up on Saturday. Really clean and a nice set of casters. They are getting unstacked and put side by side. It will take the primary bench position soon. They are 33” tall so I built a 4x4 base. Paint for the base next. It will be perfect height for me once the top is in place. I’m...

Looking at this Reed 106. Any ideas on the holes on the towers??? If the owner is on here, like to talk to you.

I had to "wow" again. That's an impressive find.

Exactly. Only reason I ask is because I cracked one of the tabs the first time. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Putting brass jaw pads on a Wilton C2. Best practice? Heat before? Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Drives, Can’t wait to see this one done! Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Drives, It’s a 22. I’ve put it on here before. Great vise. The blue one was a Wilton 1760 with jaw inserts. I actually did just sell that one. A guy came up from the South Bay Area to get it. About 4 hours round trip. Not to say I haven’t driven further for something I wanted. Replaced...

Matt has it here! I’ve been using these for years. Attached photo of vise to fix a vise that I intend to sell once I get the other one done.

I look forward to seeing what comes up on these bases. I really like the big old stuff.

Thanks. I’ll probably wait until the next freshen up but it’s a good idea! Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Wow. That’s impressive! Congratulations! Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Smitty, thanks. That is interesting. Pretty neat to see the exact same flaw on another C2. Wasn’t sure about the brown but I like the way it turned out.

Drives, I am always impressed on how you guys transport these things especially without a truck. It’s awesome! Once I pick up that other #22 I’ll decide which one to keep and probably off load the other one. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

C2 complete. It was actually in pretty good shape. Someone took a grinder to the back of it though messing up the name on the Schiller Park casting. Guessing they were trying to figure out how to get the pins out. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

Drives, they are pretty tight but a little 3n1 oil on the inside of the spacer and the handle with a little pressure they went on. Sent from my iPhone using Garage Journal

I just ordered these on eBay for the C2 I'm redoing. They are a little bit thicker than the originals but fit nicely. I'll post a better picture when I get home...
