Ye olde shop vise restoration advice.
I picked this old Prentiss 6" swivel vise up a few miles from here last week via Craigslist at a pretty good price. The jaws were missing, so I did an internet search and found this site;
Bench Vise Restoration - Search Results for "Prentiss 181"
The owners name is Kevin & he had not heard of the Prentiss No. 181 before, but he knew that some Prentiss jaws interchange across vise models from past experience.
He sent a diagram with measurements that matched what I had exactly, so I ordered them & they came in today - they are a perfect fit.
Very fast, friendly service too.
