Melting4life Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I was wondering is someone might be able to help me with this Samson 5207 vise I’m restoring. i took it all apart expect the Screw Because I cant figure out how to remove it without damaging it. Woukd anyone be able to tell me why this part is called and how to get it off without damaging it? If there is no way of not damaging it can I replace it?

Daswulf Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Basically after assembly they peened the thread so it would pinch the next closed so the screw would not fully come out. Can you access that peened part on the other end with the screw fully closed? With some patience, localized heat, a hammer and chisel, you might be able to chisel open where the threads are pinched closed and remove the screw. You will of course want to have the back of the screw braced while hammering so you dont break or bend anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melting4life Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 I can not access it. I can do my best to paint around it, but it would be so much easier if I could remove the screw. is there a “replacement” or after market piece that I could use if I end up removing it? Ill probably just tape everything the best I can and paint around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Ok, if you cannot access this: In this area with the screw wound in: Then I would paint it as is and use some spray in rust proofing afterwards in areas you can't access. I would doubt there are replacement parts available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melting4life Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 I went ahead and wrapped it all in tape and painted it. I’ll post some pics to show you how it turned out. I really appreciate you taking all the time to help me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkunkel Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Looks like a nice sandblasting cleanup job. What material are you using as the abrasive? I don't have a sandblasting cabinet yet. I so some electrolysis and wirewheeling for now. Thanks for sharing photos. It is always nice to clean up old tools! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
