Judson Yaggy Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 The legs on my #4s just screw into the casting. Making a leg should be as simple as threading the end of a round bar of the appropriate size. Even if you don't have a die set, this is something your local machine or fab shop should be able to do with their eyes closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not going to find a stash of NOS parts. But we here will give advise and comments for the low low price of posting photos of your tools! We love photos!

I don't have the Youtube link, but I remember watching a smith forge a replacement leg for his leg-vise when he was in much the same situation as you.

ThomasPowers Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I have had good luck having a bit of machining done by contacting a local VoTech who did it as a class project for a contribution to the end of the year party fund. You might also check around for a home shop machinist near you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
