Dunlap Vise

[JoeyMitch]

Found a 3.5" Dunlap vise today. It has a swivel base and it is green. Very smooth. Paid $8 for it. What are they usually worth??

 

[dirtydogintex]

More than $8 from what I've seen!!

I will assume that it has an exposed screw and is a home/hobby type of vise. I have seen them from $10 to $30. If it is a covered screw machinist type of vise, then you stole it. Either way, Dunlap made nice vises for themselves and Sears in the past.

Also got 2 Snap On deep sockets for $2 and an SK 3/8 speeder for $3.

I did a mild restore on one and sold it on here for 50.00 and now I wish I would have kept it.. LOL

I'd say it's worth at least twice what you paid for it. How can you go wrong with that?

Enjoy!

I got mine almost a year ago (used of course) with a workbench and small toastmaster bench grinder for $20. I gave the bench grinder to my father-in-law and still have the workbench and grinder. It's a cool hobby vise, and I think it's a little newer than yours going by the label compared to your embossed one. I was thinking about securing it to another table I have, but it looks like it belongs on the bench.

I'm not a fan of the exposed lead screw since I do alot of welding/torch cutting/grinding when needing a vise, but it's really easy to break down if I had to.

If you plan on using the vise on that bench, please move it so that a long item held in the jaws will clear the bench, in both "straight ahead" and "turned 90 degrees to the side" positions. Typically,m this will put the base as close to the corner as you can get it.

Just mounted it on the corner yesterday!!! Looking good!

Thanks for the tip, but I'm well aware of that little bit of info nor did I mount the vise to the table. The guy I got it from used to do alot of skatboarding and used it to secure trucks.

I really will NEVER use that vise to secure anything large or long. I have a goliath Rock Island and a Charles Parker #975 mounted on a 1 1/2" plate welding table I use to secure anything over three pounds. I'll use this vise when I'm too lazy to go over to the larger two if I need a bolt or piece of round stock cut. Like I said it's a cool little hobby vise.
