Wilton Vise Question

[dback]

Will a stationary Wilton bullet vise accept a swivel base or is the bottom of the swivel vise machined to accept the swivel base? I am working on what I believe is a C-3 (but not sure)....completely smooth bottom with a single centered dowel hole.

With the center hole and the 2 outer holes it should accept a swivel base. I have 3 of the 4 "C" series, can never remember if the C3 is the big one or the small one.

Thank you ragtop.......the C-3 is the big one (6"). Guess I'll pick up a swivel base for this one and see what happens.

From what I hear all wilton bullet vises are convertible and can be either fixed or rotating without modification.

That's why I did that first........read a thousand or so posts until my eyes were bleeding. I'm sure I missed it, but didn't find anything dealing with this topic specifically on a C-3 (if that's what I have). In fact I couldn't even get it to give me anything on C-3, C3, c3, c-3, Wilton C-3, wilton C3 etc. No problem though.....ragtop was helpful and robracer took the time to speak with me so I've probably got it worked out.

Thanks

PS.....thanks Rusty

All of the bullets I've seen have the same base. The swivel bolts right on.
