General Discussion / Wilton Power Arm & Bullet Vise
« Last post by Lewill2 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.

Having mentioned the Lie-Nielsen #164 several times in my last post, I figured I should at least show it to you.  Here it is next to the original Stanley.

Hello, oldgoaly. I believe the 344 is a Work Positioner , many ways to use. It has a maximum 20 lb capacity, and differs from the one that I have, yours probably does not have the baseplate to attach a vise without modification.

Nice! I found  the 344  in some junk. Figured it would make a good welding helping hand?

Well done, I don't have the clamp, that seems to be the hardest piece to find. I do have a 2-inch-wide jaw with swivel base and power arm, I also have a 1-inch-wide jaw fantasy Wilton Bullet vise with swivel base and a miniature power arm.

I started the search for these in reverse order. I had the clamp , and then found the PowrArm Jr. The Baby Bullet arrived a few days ago. I am going to leave all of the finishes as I found them. The paint color on the vise is most likely not original , but FO did a pretty good job!

What's-It Forum / Nicholson 1/2 round marked FOR ARMOR PLATE
« Last post by rhb-3 on November 28, 2023, 04:47:42 PM »
 I've recently came upon an 18" Nicholson half round bastard that is marked "For Armor Plate" on the tang. I find no information on this file and was wondering if someone has any ideas.
