I bought an old electric Van Dorn 7" Quick Saw with 2-3/8" depth of cut. Could not find a manual or much information via Internet, but figured most of it out and it does run. The main question now is what type of oil/grease/lubrication to use. One removed cap uncovers a deep well that...

I purchased a parts scroll saw in hopes it might help someone else with a restoration. Don't know if it was originally driven by a treadle, motor or an optional attachment to a lathe similar to what Millers Falls, Goodell or Companion models used. Only info on entire saw is cast numbers on...

This tool is labeled as Made in USA and Patent Pending. Maker is marked as REPUBLIC and Model # AF 11R This tool has double ratchet handles, with a working socket that functions when handles are separated or a grooved end, if handles are brought together. Anyone have idea what this tool was...

The other day, came across this vise and was told it was used in a local telephone company. It has had modifications and only info found on it was a # 301-176, but looks to be a company inventory #. In any event, any info on Maker and what type of vise it was, would be appreciated. Specs...

Picked up a pair of The Cincinnati Tool Company Hargrave Pipe Clamps that were marked Model #605-C and patent pending. Kind of a different look from their old style or even pipe clamps in general. Just passing it along as FYI.

I came across a Will-Burt Co of Orrville Ohio Versa-Vise. Although it had one cast section broke, it also had a lot of accessories, so ended up buying it. For now, I'd like opinions on whether the section pictured, could be fixed. The break was fairly clean, but they also broke the screw as...

This vise with 5" jaws doesn't show a Mfg name on it. It has the rear pivoting adjustable jaw, when pin in back is removed. In taking off and cleaning up the rear adjustable jaw, there was a name of H. J. Weiss. Has anyone found a similar name underneath their rear adjustable jaw vise...
