got a new vice, have a new question

admin

hey guys, so i just picked up a 5" vice from craigslist. its a Chinese unit but for a vice and 2 angle grinders, i don't thank $50 was too bad. problem is that its missing 2 of the jaws for the pipe vice. they are very simple jaws so i was wondering if anyone knew where i could get replacements. now me being the genius i am, i didn't take any pics of the vice but i do have pics of the jaws, about 1/2" thick. i'll post some pics of the vice tomorrow. thank you for your help.Last edited by superwelder; 01-18-2013 at 01:43 AM.
Reply:that $50 chinese vise is not likely to have replacement parts available . i'd buy a new one for $50 .  Northern tool ,BigLots , Horror Freight , any flea market tool table .... last i looked they were $50-60 on a good day.a lot of vise for very little virtue .here:http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden...2/product.htmlLast edited by tnmgcarbide; 01-18-2013 at 02:15 AM.Miller S60 feederCobramatic push/pull feederMiller CP-252tsLincoln Tig250/Tig250Lincoln weldpak 100 -italianC-H 90A- italianHarris & Victor O\Afull manual & CNC machine shop
Reply:I've got a pair I kept from a vise I broke this fall. I'll try to find them and see if they match up with your measurements.
Reply:Mine are 1 3/4 x 1 1/2 x 1/2. You are welcome to them if you think they might work. Shipping is on me.

Reply:AKmud, i think yours will work, it will just limit the size of pipe i can put in there. please pm me your price and paypal address. thank you very much for your help. Wintermute: how much would your charges be? i was actually thinking about making my own if i couldn't find any but AKmud stepped up haha.thank you guys
Reply:superwelder,Considering the time involved, my charge would be the cost of the material (don't know what that is right now), plus shipping, plus $30 for my time.--Wintermute"No man's knowledge here can go beyond his experience." - John Lockewww.improvised-engineering.comManufacturer Agnostic:Blood----------Sweat---------Tears----|------------------|----------------|----Lincoln Red, Miller Blue, Esab Yellow
