I seem to have misplaced the original lead screw to my Wilton 820, aka; "Baby" vise. Can anyone share details regarding the Acme thread dia, pitch, length and shoulder details please. I'll need to either cobble a replacement or turn one down.
thanks!!

Losing that is like throwing money away.

Thread is Acme 3/8-10. Threaded portion of shaft is 3 7/8" in length. Total shaft length is 6 1/2". Thick handle end is 3/4" diameter and 1 1/4" long. I use a 3/4" rod blank to make the spindle. The center of the handle hole is 7/16" from the handle end of the spindle. I make my handle hole 1/4" and make the handles a snug fit to the hole diameter. I have made about 40 spindle and handle sets for the baby bullets and another 15 sets for the toddler bullets (2 1/2" jaws).
