Wilton - Industrial Quick Release Drill Press Vise Restoration

Finally completed the industrial drill press vise restoration! I received this Wilton many years ago from my father-in-law and have been itching to clean it up ever since. The quick action was incredibly inconsistent, frequently getting stuck with the threads disengaged so it wouldn't tighten the jaws but not enough that you could move it by hand. I started this over year ago now and it is great to finally use the finished product. The quick-release action is really smooth now and works every time you expect it to. There's nothing quite like an old tool with new life...
