Another you **** post....Free Vise!

[darkk]

So....how did I do? Got this vise for free today...Does this thing need a swivel base? Anyone have a base they want to part with?

Great score. Bolt it down right there. I always need a third hand when I'm working with car parts in the kitchen.

And yes, you ****.

Nice vice but you aren't allowed to solicit "yousuckage".

It is well known that you can't claim your own 'You ****'. I'm not sure what good that vice will be with the crack in in anyway.

 

[tomd]

where do you see a crack?

Crack? What crack?

Agree bolt it to the kitchen table. That would be handy to crack crab legs.

Nice score!

This is the broken vise I passed on, the guy said it just had a welding mark on it....I guess!

 

[AMCguy]

Wow! Those were awesome workbenches. Were they for sale?

 

[chrommagman]

the one you passed up kinda looks like the one I got (for free )
it came with that like this. but it works for what I use it for

The base swivels

 

[spongerich]

The Wilton Bullets are the same whether they're sold with or without the swivel. If you don't need it, just bolt her down (the kitchen table would be a great place).

If you decide to look for one, the swivel bases seem to be the same for a number of Wilton's. I had a 1745 and a 500S at the same time (One's 40 lbs, the other over 100) and the bases were identical.

We actually went to this guy's house to get a tab tacked onto a metal table leg since our electrical isn't 100% done yet, so we can't use our welder.. I walked in the garage and saw the vise on the floor and jokingly said Oh, there's our new vise!. He said oh, you guys are looking for one? blah blah, and we said yeah, if you wanna sell it, we'll buy it off ya. So he goes about welding up the tab on the leg, and on our way out the door he said Load it up!, so in the trunk it went!

No, sorry they weren't, I would have liked one of those myself.

yeah, I'd like to get a swivel base. any ideas where I could get one?

I'd start by checking with Nick ... our resident Wilton-master! He usually has some Wilton parts, or might be able to find you a base if your really wanna make it swivel. His handle here is "autopts" I think. Cheers, Bill

I'm looking for a swivel base for my 4" Record vise from england, while we're on the subject?

That's a UK made Record Vise

Actually the vise is a Paramo,*same vise* I'm sure you know the story. Ex Record Vise employee starts own company etc,etc,etc...It's in Ashland Mass, he wanted $50 for it...

I'm sure you know the story. Ex Record Vise employee starts own company etc,etc,etc...

That's not correct. Paramo was given the rights to produce Record vices during the war effort.

Really odd....I just read what I considered a valid aticle on the subject of Record/Paramo vises. I was researching a Paramo I was considering purchasing and did an internet search. What I stated was what I thought valid. Can't even trust the internet anymore. What's the world coming to? hahaha! You may be correct..who knows. In the grand scheme of things, I guess it really doesn't matter.

 

[Jononon]

Can't even trust the internet anymore.

Was the article online? I'd appreciate a link, if you have it

I was looking for it to quote from before the previous answer but you know how the internet is. Once you click off the page it disappears. I'll keep looking though...

 

[Joe B.]

Crack? What crack?

Sorry, just messing with you because of the self declared You ****.

Good times were had by all.....

 

[Cryptic1911]

haha, we figured it was that, or a cobweb mistaken for a crack
