Free vices

Other week was down the scrap yard hunting for bits and came across a decent haul, this is just part of it.

The rest has been cropped to stop the drool on screen and keyboards

Amongst this lot were the two 5" vices in the picture, one has swivel base one hasn't but dragged them home anyway.

Now I have enough vices [ or so my favourite rocket scientist says ] so offering these for free.

First come first served by PM, first come get the choice of which one.

Now the small print, MUST be collected from NG10 area 2 miles from M1 J24 / 25.

DO NOT ask for me to pack them for courier collection. I won't reply - simples

Neither will I try to cram them in the post box over the road, postman has only just got over the last hernia.

If no one shouts up they go back down the scrapyard - just though it might help someone starting out.

I'd be interested if anything still going. could come over tommorrow. Cant figure out how to PM tho.

Robin.

OK Robin, you have first shout, bring that motor with you as well and we'll have a look.

I don't need one John and you're too far away anyway but just to say it's very nice of you to do this for folks on here!

When I first set up a workshop I had loads of help and was given literally hundreds of pounds worth of gear.

Owning a truck garage and doing all the scrap lorries in Nottingham also helped but it's a poor tale if you can't give back.

I'll echo Vic's reply, nice to know there are still people like you willing to give it back.

You mean the Schaublin has been cropped

How I wish I had a decent scrap yard in my neck of the woods, NR or IP.

Hello from sunny South West, plenty of scrap yards, but they wont let you mooch about in them, H&S reasons.

What's the register diameter on that faceplate, would it fit a mini-lathe?

Dunno Neil,

Bit of a wierd one, think it's 15" or 16" diameter but it's on a D1-3 fitting.

So got to be a gap bed lathe but what gap bed lathe uses D1-3 ?

Not a CVA, Monarch, Bantam so what's left ?

It looks very like the back of the large faceplate for my lathe (Harrison M300), but that is 18" diameter and D1-4.
