The vise should have a pipe threaded hole under the main part to put a leg into. I have one of the fabricated / not cast versions of that vise.

As for the drill it appears to be there unless there was a way to clamp the part in the vee, but it may just be the drilling action that does the holding. Try it out, and let us know how it works.

Here is a photo from another forum.

Greetings Crazylady,

 

Like the picture that John supplied ..  The drill is clamped into the cut out under the vise jaws..   I have 6 drills and several vises and use them all the time... You can do many operations with the drill like clamping it to the work piece and use it like a mag drill..   A few things you should know...  I put thrust washer under the screw clamps that tension the drill to the 1 3/8 shaft... Over tightening the top one will for sure crack the casting...  Take the drill all apart and you will find a thrust bearing on the top that requires lube...  I have one that I use at the anvil where the shaft fits into he hardy hole ..  Great to take to demos and such..  You will find the jaws on the vise are very aggressive and will mark your metal ... I grind mine smooth...  One other great thing about the vise is you can rotate the head and use it to hold stock on a block for upsetting..   Lots and lots of other things ... I could go on and on...  Have fun with your new tools..

 

Forge on and make beautiful things

Jim

Las Cruces Fleamarket yesterday:  beautiful set of large tongs---apx 1"  hold on the flats with a nice swale on the inside of the bits to hold round as well.  29" long and so well forged I keep looking for a commercial maker's mark.  Reins drawn down nice and thin so you have a strong springy grip.  US$8  Which is my top price for tongs I can use as they are.

 

OTOH at a different dealer there was a nice heavy old steel/iron? wheelbarrow wheel of the type I like to make tong racks from:  he wanted $25 and as I've been finding them at the scrapyard for $2.....

Went to an auction about an hour a way from my house this weekend.  I heard that there would be a coal forge with a blower, several sets of tongs, and a few post vises up for grabs.  The forge and blower went for $475 (it was about 4'x4'), the vises (both 4" Iron City -- one missing its bracket) went for $50 a piece.  I bought all the tongs for $350.

 

All of the tongs came in two ammo boxes.  There was a handful of nippers that with the lot... I'll probably sell them, if I can.  Three bottom tools (two round swages and one hardie), three top tools (one set hammer, one top round swage head, and some weird type of hot cut), two cold chisels, and some other various small tools came with them, as well.  I was also able to buy a nice square punch (wood-handled top tool).  My dad was with me -- he counted 72 pairs of tongs.

 

Wife, dog, and I went to Phoenix last week and I came home with 50# of coke and Mark Asperry's volume III from Pieh tool in Camp Verde. Very nice people and store. Still drooling.

Now that's how you do it Tulsavw, nice score.

I just got these this week at rummage sale for 20.00 could not pass it up
Not sure about the drill thing but the man says they go together an have same name

I've been wanting to get a shear for a while and look on craigslist every couple of days. They don't seem to come up to often and are usually pretty expensive. I've been thinking about getting one of the eight inch one's with the bar slot, but just haven't pulled the trigger. A couple of days ago I checked craigslist and found this guy.



The blades could use sharpening and adjusting, but it cuts right through 1/8 x 3/4.

Greetings Dan, I think you should do some research on your Beverly .. I think you will find that model clamshell max is 11 g... Forge on and make beautiful things. J

Jim,

I'd read that this model could do 3/16 mild and 10 gauge stainless.

Dan

Hard to tell model number from your photos Dan, Beverly b2 is rated to 1/8" and a b3 to 3/16 (mild steel).  It's likely that working a hand powered tool at the upper limit will wear out both the tool and operator prematurely so take care of yourself.  That said a Beverly shear is a great tool, fasten it down to an immoveable object and enjoy!

It's a B3.

I took this off a 5,000lb rotted Bliss punch press. It's got to weigh close to 300 lbs. Now what should I do with it?

Would make a good work table where you could HOLD the work in place LOL

Sean, you should mail that t-slot table to me.  I'll see that the table is given a good home and well-cared for.  I'll even send you photos of her every once in a while.

Don't bother mailing- I'll come pick it up for free! What Glenn said- a great layout table with the ability to clamp stuff down, set jigs, hold your lunch, etc.

 

Steve

Very nice potential as a smaller jig where you can clamp down elements of the fixture in those T-slots. First use you could make adjustable turning cams. Set up to bend twenty of the rotten shepard's crook that people have been pestering you to do... or is that just me;-)   Make a fixture to help you forge horse shoe hearts if not faster maybe sharper;-)  Supplemental table for your flypress to build bending fixtures on to it...

Two wrought iron wagon wheels from the scrapyard. Found it a few months ago and rolled them into the back corner for the time I had some money, and thankfully they were still there. Wrought iron is very scarce around here, I think this is the first I saw in years.

When I lived in the inner city of Columbus Ohio a local flowershop the next block down was using a wagon tyre in their displays for fall and winter and I fished it out of their dumpster when spring rolled around.

as i predicted above, after the strip sander and the grinder came my way, the belt/disc sander has made its appearance.

 

i was just gifted this by someone who purchased a powermatic 6x48 belt/12" disc sander:  http://www.amazon.com/RIKON-50-120-48-Inch-10-Inch-Sander/dp/B002FB74XS

 

still shaking my head...

Scrounged up some spikes/clips today, and this weird lump of cast. No idea what it is other than heavy.

That lump of cast is part of a car coupling. I have one I have used as sort of a swage at times.

got a large roper whitney punch today, dont see many on this side of the pond.

it is about 22" long and says capacity 1/4".

anyone know if punches and dies can be got and how much they are

They are a popular tool, a Google search should pull up several sites for them. Does it have a model number on it?
