    VISE REPAIR 101 all vise repairs, lubricants, sources for parts and the tricks to fix

    Ok, so here's the before and "almost" after... The third picture is my little problem. The lock-down bolt had to be cut out because the nut on the back side was thoroughly rusted to the bolt. Actually it was the nut that was cut off. My problem is reproducing (or replacing) the bolt. I thought...

    BEFORE & AFTER....A Tool Polisher's Haven

    Plastic covering is not a good idea. When the air warms and the ground is still cool, moisture evaporates up, is contained around the tools,/machine and condenses on the cold metal. May not be as bad in the barn, but I've seen people destroy 4-wheelers by storing them outside like that. Sent...

    Hey 454ragtop, I've seen that post. Nice job on the Dunlap. I think your right that the screws might not be self - tapping. The notches in the thread might be some sort of self locking deal though. They were Def manufactured that way as all of the screws have the notches and they're very...

    VISE REPAIR 101 all vise repairs, lubricants, sources for parts and the tricks to fix

    Does anyone know what to call this type of tapered, self-tapping thread? Also, the flat head is undercut. They are used to hold the jaw faces on the Dunlap 5244 that I'm restoring. Had to plug weld nuts onto them to get em out. Now I gotta find me some new ones. Might just drill and tap the...

    VISE REPAIR 101 all vise repairs, lubricants, sources for parts and the tricks to fix

    OK, so I tried PB blaster, and that *sort of* worked. Got the tiniest bit of wiggle in the pivot screw. Then I tried Kroil and over a couple of days, was able to work it loose and get it out. Still no luck on the swivel base locking nut though. Wedged some 18 GA in and tried my impact hammer on...

    Hey Drives, Yeah, been married for 32 years myself. Use of the kitchen sink was to help my wife be enthusiastic about the slop sink that I intend to add to my garage. There's a method to my madness ;-) What makes you say that I'm in a "vise rich" area of the country? I've been watching CL for...
