I have an Athol 614 1/2 I started to restore about 10 years ago, the ball was broken off the screw. I have since retired and have time but I can't find the screw, ball, or handle. I have the vise with the nut and keeper pin. any ideas where to get parts? You are the only one I've found that could possibly help, thanks
@@darrenmulvey3710 so there are a few options. Athol used a buttressed thread not an acme thread. One can be turned on a lathe by a machinist and a new meatball can be forged milled or shaped on a lathe and pressure set and pinned. You can also find a similar era 614 1/2 that’s broken and harvest parts. If you join bench vises forever (Facebook group) it’s possible someone has the part. You can reach out to @kendrickmachineshop as well I belive he can make one
@@SWW-888 the 614 was the base design. Then for a little bit they did an X and an N iirc the X has removable jaws and the N has cast in jaws. (I might have that backwards)
Excellent information! Maybe you could go over the different model numbers and what they mean in the future? Thanks keep the videos coming.
Great video. I always thought the 45 degree wedge looked cool but never bought a vise with one because I don't want to modify a bench.
Yeah. Once one company did away with it the rest followed
@@GoldmansGarage they do look cool
