Sorry for the double post. I posted this info several days ago at the end of another vise thread. I got no responses. I have my vise apart and need to get it back together so I’m trying again. Thanks for your patience.
I recently acquired a Wilton bullet vise. I’ve read all the threads but still have many questions. First the vise is a model 4 according to what’s cast under the jaw. It has 5” jaws and opens to nearly 9”. The date appears to be 747. Thanks to all who have posted with info as I got it apart with no problem. Some questions I have, can the removable jaws be flipped putting the good side up and the worn/damaged side down? The screws holding the jaws to the vise are in need of replacement. I cannot find screws that fit at my local hardware store. The heads on the hardware store screws are too big for the holes. Are there special screws used for this?
Now for what may be my biggest issue. My jaw locator pins are broken so I need to replace these. I thought they were 1/4” pins but again I cannot find these locally. I’ve heard about someone one who does carry some parts for these vises can anyone provide contact info. Thanks!
