talk real ugly like it was the Ozzie show? Ummm, I don't think so. None of

facing front. You may rarely pry UP from the front, but I generally pry
DOWN on the vise from the front. Therefore, the broken ear is a non-issue.
Also, you get closer to the table edge that way. posted by: Franz After personally intervuing a Wilton this afternoon, up close & personal, I'd cut a new ear from flat stock, and everdure it on with the base assembled to the vise, and sitting on the bench. If you don't have TIG available, it can be done DC carbon arc, reverse polarity I think. Questions posted by Cutter 03-23-2004 Although the missing mounting lobe is
somewhat a moot point until the stuck moving parts give up
and start moving, I have questions about this proposed repair: posted by: Franz Everdure = phosphor bronz and you can
run it with carbon arc on a DC machine, or even O/A. posted by: OlPilot Maybe not as bad as you think, Franz. Those old Wiltons were 60 KSI cast steel, not the 30 KSI cast iron used today. As a result, with much finer grain and less carbide precipitates, they weld much better. I don't think Cutter will have any problem. But a little preheat and postheat couldn't hurt. posted by: 7018 Cutter i would preheat in the oven to about 280 or 300 then braze it. Cover in in dry warm sand and let it cool!! I've done a lot of cast that way it works really good!!! By the way do u know what the color of these vices were new? posted by Cutter 03-23-2004 Thanks for the advise Rusted, Franz,
OlPilot & 7018. My concern about using the base with the gap in it is
