Wilton Bullet HD Vise

[MEngineer]

So I picked up a Wilton bullet last night for $60. I am not familiar with this specific model so I am hoping someone on here might know more ( Drive perhaps )

Your slide key looks broken??

The model is the number on the opposite side if the HD on the jaw. Looks like a 4 or 4.5" machinist vise. No pipe jaws and the overall shape is a giveaway. The C series and tradesman vises have a different shape and stance, as well as pipe jaws.

Modern day equivalent is the part number 400N for the 4" vise.

Nice score for 60 bones.

so the model number is 10 028?

That model is essentially unchanged from the 9400 that preceded it by a few years. At that point they were offering two 4" machinist models...standard and HD. The HD model used a larger diameter spindle, opened wider, and weighed several pounds more.

There is a discussion of them in another thread I'll try to find. On a swivel base that version weighs right at 55lbs as I recall. Side by side I couldn't see any difference between that and one just like it that was marked 9400 (had both at the same time).

This thread has the literature showing the difference between the normal and HD models. I would love to have a copy of that catalog!

P.S. Your slide key is fine...some models had shorter keys like that. I don't know why some do, and some don't, but I've had several just like that.
