I found a pair of 36" Stilsons in a pile of junk. They look like these, only bigger
The handle and fixed jaw have "Drop Forged" marked on them. I'm guessing the moving jaw is too.
The frame that contains the adjusting wheel is broken.
It is 16 mm wide, and 5 mm thick at the break. The web at the break is 14 mm at its thickest, and 9 mm at its thinnest. If you click the image you can read the dimensions.
I am pretty sure the frame part is cast. I can see a parting line. It is a reasonably hard metal but a file will cut it.
I just chanced upon these and they cost nothing. I am able to gas weld, (Brazing), or electric, (MMA) myself, but I do not have TIG or MIG.
What does the brains trust here think about either of those for a repair?
Cheers Phil
