Emmert Vises Catalogue 12 1912.pdf Looks to not have the parts and part number diagram, extra parts were being advertised for sale. The catalog itself is probably available online. An interesting read from the manufacturer. akasrick

A wrt. washer shows in a 1912 catalog, my Parker has only one washer and could probably use a second. *** edit mine is steel same as yours. *** akasrick

Age of Steel engraving, saved from GJ, showing Parker type jaws. another addy added below. akasrick

Nathaniel: That is a Parker #22 that is tightened to the bench, it sits on a plate (base) has a washer under the bench that with a nut, handle and stud completes the through bench swivel lock down. It is missing the front collar as the trade catalog cut shows. I hope you acquire it reasonably...

Looks like they skipped making the blacksmith leg vises, at least I've not seen any advertised. akasrick

Pre. they had something to do with carriage working/blacksmithing. akasrick

Heck of a project Kevin. The 1886 catalog only mentions the jaws as being interchangeable and of cast steel. No detail of the jaw profile in the catalog cut. ` akasrick edited

CRISINMICH posted this jem: The "painted" finishes of that time were also toxic. One of the reasons that Stanley's president (Hart) was so well liked by its workers, he stopped stopped using the poisonous finishes. As usual trivia, I'm unable to point to that statement. Color or lack of...

Looks like this patent is on the vise spreadsheet already. It is nifty. akasrick

Do you have a date on that adv. Time and vise improvements march on. 👍 akasrick

There was also a process which I have no idea if Reed used, for what I call Electro Magically welded. Which means I have no idea how it was accomplished. I imagine a lot of energy was used. Looking at mine looks like it has none of the smoothness yours has. akasrick

Hollow towers? They jaws had to be attached someway. There is at least one patent showing a new way of attaching, fairly involved, I wouldn't imagine it got much traction. Looks like the towers were at least beefed up. Akasrick

Unfortunately mine is mounted and have no way too get to the center bolt. I would imagine the base has a cutout in it the same shape as the bolt to accept the wedge which would be a little longer so it won't fall out through, the bolt fits in there then runs the base. A couple of round file cuts...

I'd say that you know that this is what you are trying to accomplish. I wedge shaped bolt that runs in the base raceway that has teeth that are engaged when the bolt is tightened. They don't have watchmaker tolerances, but do grab tight. I wouldn't know how to get dimensions off of the 403 1/2 R...

That attachment isn't shown here. Just 11 pages of disk and drum sanding. Also mentions a lambs wool bonnet for polishing. Also mentions that the Sabre saw should cut on the upstroke. akasrick
