Craftsman Vise
|
My Dad bought this Craftsman vise in the early 1970's. I think thay my
grandfather's vise is from the 1930's.

Swivel Lock
One of the problems with the Craftsman vise was that it was really hard
to lock it and prevent it from swiveling. This shows why. The threads were
almost gone and the bolt no longer seated in the groove properly. I picked
up a carriage bolt, and with a bit of shaving of the head, it fit perfectly.

Repainted Vise
I applied some primer and then a hammered gray finish. This is the refurbished
vise ready for service. I plan on making a set of aluminum jaws and a set
of delrin jaws for it.
