I stopped by a younger friend the other day and he pulled out a Wilton 4 1/2 inch bullet vise. We spoke about it some and I offered him some advice about how to repair a broken off clamping flange in the swivel bottom. As we spoke he put the vise back together. Then when I got up to leave he said he had cleaned it up and reassembled it in order to give it to me. What a nice surprise! Even though I just retired about a year ago after a 40 plus career machining, and still own my machine shop full of machines, I never got a Wilton bullet vise but always wanted one. Now I have one and will use it a lot.
The vise is pretty old but I don't know when it was made so now I need to try to find out.
