These nuts deserve a screw.

I’m working on an old Wilton 1760 vise. The nuts for the swivel base were locked up with rust and the Tommy bars where mangled. I made these to replace the old hardware. I had a the offset wrench. It had a broken end that I cut of and cleaned up. Now it’s going to be dedicated to the vise.

Wilton vises are worth the trouble!

I mist have a filthy mind.
I'm sorry.

Why be sorry? Thought crimes are not part of our system ----

I must watch too much sci-fi.
Oh, and I can't spell either!

Is it a machinist thing, polishing your nuts?

But its getting there (this is not a joke)

Can't do much business with rusty nuts and a mangled Tommy bar . If only the hardware could be replaced as easily as on that vise .
