Broken Deadlocked Vise - Perfect Restoration (I did it again)

Рет қаралды 6,993,675

Күн бұрын

I bought this vise pretty much 1.5 years ago together with the other Gressel bench vise I already restored and made a video. I also payed $20 for this one. Since then it was laying aroung in my basement. I always knew that I'll restore this one as well, just because it's a Gressel and it will totally worth to safe it from the trash.
This one wasn't that rusty like the other one, but it was also completely deadlocked. The handle was beaten up and bent. The jaws, some screws and two pieces to hold the spindle were missing. The pin that secures the spindle from turning was broken. Because of all that the spindle fell out. This vise has two threads and two concentric bushings to keep the jaws in place. Talking to Gressel I found out that this method was only produced until 1960, so it's at least 60 years old now. It could be from 1943, as both parts had a „43“ stamped on them. As these original jaws are getting no longer produced, I decided to drill an extra hole between the threads to be able to use new jaws. Gressel was so nice to send me new flat jaws. All the bare surfaces were in really bad condition due to heavy use, that's why I decided to weld up material and clean all these surfaces on the milling machine. I replaced the handle with a new one, but I used the old rounded ends again which turned out great. I later secured the ends with Loctite when reassembling. I also made the two missing screws and the broken pin out of the old handle. I choose to paint the whole vise the same color as the movable jaws from the new Gressel vises are, cobalt blue (RAL5013). I think it turned out very well, the white lettering, the shiny bare spots and the black parts match very well.
I hope you like my work and the video.

One of the reasons his channel is so satisfying is rarely mentioned: excellent video technique. Other KZfaqrs should take notes. What he does well: High quality camera, steady slow movements, good length of shots, appropriate cuts, good lighting, good angles and closeup use, keeping his body and arms out of the way, sparing and informative use of titles, high quality sound and levels. He also has a clean space and even his fingernails are clean. Kudos.

@TheJR1948 I doubt he "has no idea" as you seem to believe. A man who works with that many tools on a regular basis and displays such a high level of machining would know what the tools were made for. However, the tools he restores are gradually added to the collection in his workshop or maybe given to friends who need them if he already has one (though that's just a possibility I thought of for cases like this where he already owns the kind of tool he's restoring). So, it seems to me that he's just making them more custom to personal use while also paying homage to the original workmanship by not changing too many elements.

what i don't understand on the jaws, why the hell are they making a throughhole for the bolt instead of a bottoming one? In this case you have more surface where you could put pressure on. There should be a hole only 3-5mm deep, it's just for alignment...

@@CrazyThunderbird you're only partially right. it does reduce the surface area, but in doing so you get more pressure. the main advantage is one of detaching the jaws if they get deadlocked. you can drill out the pin accurately instead of having to grind the whole jaw down. jaws get locked frequently because of the constant pressure, the exposed metal, and the common lack of grease or sealer between the jaws and the body

Dammit, SECOND time I watch you restoring the same piece and SECOND time I end up mesmerized. You're a darn genius. I envy you and your tools, specially the milling machine, the sandblasting booth and the lathe. But it's not just the tools, it's the hands! You're an artist.
