ThomasPowers Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I've wondered if they were a replacement when a screwbox stripped out. Any markings on it? I'd think if it was original that the makers would stamp it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wesley Chambers Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 with metal prices today I would scrap that box and buy a new vice with change to spare, I was going to pickup a brass barstock 3/8x3/4 22" long and they wanted $55.00 lol....

ThomasPowers Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Since Babbitt was used to repair stripped out screw boxes, and early ones (or repairs) were made by brazing in the female screw thread I'd have to think that a copper alloy screwbox could work just fine if kept clean and greased.

firefarm39 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I was just yesterday talking to a blacksmithing equipment dealer, and saw a post vise in his inventory with a brass screw box. I commented on it, and he said he has seen many of them over the years. This was the first I had seen. They are really beautiful all polished up! If I had to guess, I would say that is an Iron City vise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
