We stripped out our 6" Starrett vise last week in at work . They purchased a Wilton 6" to replace it . Not a bad vise , but surely not up to the tasks the Starrett could handle . 2 options here . #1 - throw t into the dumpster and never look back . #2 - drag it home , machine a 1" Acme thread screw , bore and sleeve the rocker piece and try to save this piece of old iron .
Adding up the time and $$$$$$ to get the vise working once again I could buy 2 new Wiltons most likely , but what fun would that be ? My vote as always is option # 2 , which is why the garage and basements are packed .
