Hello all,

I have an old, large, wilton bullet style vise/pipe vise that I am trying to identify. This vise has "Wilton Schiller park Ill USA" on both sides. The only other visible marking is the number 101065. I have not disassembled the vice to look at the keyway for a date.

The vise measure 23" long, base is about 10" wide, and the overall height is about 14". The jaw width is 6", the jaws open about 10", and the depth is about 7 1/2". The pipe jaws are 3 1/4" x 2" and appear to be a double type that will accommodate both tubing and pipe. This unit also has the anvil pad and a double locking 360 degree swivel base.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated

Keith

Welcome to GJ. This is the right place to start your project of restoring a vise. There are TONS of threads on restoring vises, so you should definitely spend time using SEARCH which is near top of site in the black line. Further, you can refine your search with ADVANCED SEARCH with filter words.

Next, might as well get your first . . . . . You Will NEED TO POST PICTURES to get best response.

Post pics of your rebuild of vise as it happens. Good luck and welcome.

Welcome,

Here are a few threads you might find interesting. I apologize if you have already seen these. They really helped me out with my Wilton. Although, ultimately I had to ask what type it was.
