Wilton Power Arm & Bullet Vise
« on: November 30, 2023, 02:29:55 PM »
I think I posted this a while back but I was requested to post them again. Wilton baby 2-inch jaws and an after-market mini-Wilton style vise. Power arms for both. The after-market mini isn't a Paul Hamler, it is one of the kits that were made available to be machined and assembled. I didn't machine it, I purchased as it is with the wood base. I found the mini power arm online, I think they are made in the UK.

A number of years ago I finished a pair of Wilton castings for a fellow. The finished items are not toys, high quality steel investment castings, precision fit parts. If you are considering finishing a casting set best to practice your hand tapping skills... several number 0-80 holes to tap.

Joe, those are great pieces. I never found anyone that would finish one when the kits were available. I considered buying 2, kits and offering one to whoever would complete them for me, but it never happened.
