Outlaw I came across this Dunlap 5230 on ebay, see above post. Looks like Sears may have made a 5230 after all. I couldn't find it in any of the catalogues. I wonder how rare it is? Also the one on ebay only had three holes total on the jaws. Interesting. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I just saw this on ebay. There are two listing for Dunlap 5230 vises...

Looks just like one of mine which is a 1959, too. Great price. There was a recall on these where you could get $100 for returning the motor (I believe) so you are in the black for sure! Congrats on your purchase. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Thanks Outlaw, I'll try the main site. Yeah, I figured the holes were for some sort of clamp but wasn't sure if the vise was manufactured that way. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Thanks Cruzan I replaced the links with thumbnails.

Here are the pics of the vise I mentioned above. I'm not sure what those holes are for, but the ones on the ends are threaded. thanks for your input.

I just cleaned up a delta and I used different grades of sandpaper starting with 100 grit and working up to 400 grit. I wrapped the sandpaper around the post and sanded like I was polishing shoes. I finished up by spraying T-9 on to protect it against flash rust. Hope this helps. Sent from my...

It says 2/46 and nothing else. I have a 2nd vise but it doesn't have a date. Here are the pics of that one. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Tylerlayne, I know we are over a year out from when you started this thread but I have the same tool chests and I want to paint too. What color did you use to match the original? Thanks

[/ATTACH][/ATTACH]Bluebolt - Thank you. I wasn't really sure if it was any good. ZKling - I was looking for some markings on the bar but couldn't make anything out (see close up), but your information is very helpful. Do you know if these came in a certain color? thank you.

I have been lurking for a bit trying to glean some information prior to starting my first ever vise restoration. I am attaching several pictures of a vise I found at an Estate Sale a couple of months ago. I picked it up for $20 (I hope I didn't spend too much!) One of the problems I'm facing is...
