Looking for vise part

[Sawmill7]

Picked up a Desmond Stephan vise today. Has a broken screw which is missing. Would any of you vise collector's have a useable screw and handle for me to purchase? Hate to see this get scraped. Here are are a couple pics. Thanks for any help with this project. Bill

Might help to include the size, I imagine the different ones need bigger screws. Mine is a 350, and all I need is the swivel lock. From what I can see, mine is not even the same family as yours.

51s ? 5 1/4" jaw

no need to scrap the vice because you can't locate a screw. one could be made ( for a price) easily by someone with a lathe . even if you don;t want to go that route, I'm sure there's a market for that vice as is...

Ditto on getting a new one made. Simple if you have a buddy with a good lathe.

I do know a couple guys with lathes what is the thread pitch on it or do you use the nut inside to figure that out. Also do I have the whole handle made or just the threaded part then how do you attach the handle, weld? Also would someone have a correct length
Thanks Bill

Depending on the thread pitch, you might be able to locate the right screw at McMaster. Then attach it to the rest of the handle. Ideally a complete assembly would be made but that's a lot of material turned to chips unless the big end is attached.

Hi, was searching the threads for vise parts. Did you get the vise fixed?if not, I need the complete assembly to tighten the swivel base. I have a 41s, and it should fit, I would think. Would you be interested in selling it? Thanks.

If you can't find the OEM parts, a modified restoration "RESTOMOD" might be a viable option.

I haven't thought about it. Would you want the whole vise or just the assembly to tighten the swivel. I have no idea what it is worth. Let me know Bill

Sawmill7, if you are looking for any measurements to fix it let me know. I currently have a 51P (non swivel) laying around and would think the handle and screw would be the same size.

I would be interested in the complete assembly only. No idea wha it is valued at either. Has value to me as I could return this vise to service. if you want to sell, give me a price and of course, shipping costs would be extra. Thank you. Pat how
