Wilton / Baldor Double Score

[FrostBite]

While surfing Craigslist I came across an ad for a flimsy sheet metal workbench "with grinder and vise" for $500. The "with grinder and vise" is what caught my eye, so I contacted the seller to see if he would be interested in selling just the vise and/or grinder. Long story short, I countered the original $100 the guy wanted with $80 due to the grinder having some damage from the wire wheel and he took it. That makes this vise the most expensive Wilton I own.

The vise will fit in well with the other two.

And the Baldor 612 should handle the jobs too small for the 1406W.

Is there any source other than Baldor for replacement parts for the grinder?

So you got the pair for $80, or was just the grinder that amount?

I should have clarified, I got both for $80.

^ ^ ^ ^ BOTH . . . . for paltry amount of $80 . . . is . . YOU **** !!

I'll gladly provide you with 25% profit and take vise off your hands for $50 !!

I should have clarified, I got both for $80.

I'd say you did awfully well there then.

good question fretters, I went back and reread what the op wrote, 500.00 for bench, grinder and vise, He asked about grinder and/ or vise. The guy quoted 100.00 but he countered 80.00. Not sure if it was each or for both, I suspect it was each.

guess I was typing when he was answering. Sorry I am so slow

We all get caught out by that on occasion Richard. The amount of times I've not quoted a post when replying, by which time someone else has posted, and then when my reply goes up, it looks like I'm responding to something completely different.
