Based on the wishes of many people I decided to repair and restore the York 125 I am using for many of my workshop projects. What you will see in this restoration video is a disassembly cleanup and subsequent assembly of this York bench vise.
I was trying to dig up some information around this specific York bullet vice. The shape of this 125 York vise is practically identical to the ones from 1934. Whereas the vise has a "YORK" sign on one side and the patent number "PATENT 68589" marked on the other one it can be assumed it was made most probably during 1942-1956. If it was from 1934-1942 then it should have a patent "Pat PDG-P-1348-37 No.155.454" marked on the side. York vices made after 1956 have a different design and have no patent number anymore. Unfortunately, these bullet vises are not serial number devices so you can't tell for sure when it's been made. You can see though how similar the Wilton vises are to York vises including the collar - at least as regards York bullet vises manufactured until 1956. The patent for the York vise I'm restoring was widely imported to the US after WW2. Pretty much the same design was patented by a previous York employee for the new Wilton vise company he founded. York bench vises come from Czechoslovakia and are produced to this day. One of the best vises ever made.
1942 YORK VISE RESTORATION | BULLET VISE RESTORATION
I started out by dismantling the vise. Used WD40 on those parts that were stuck, mainly the jaw bolts and the pins. Once disassembled I cleaned and degreased all the parts. Used a paint remover to get rid of all of the previous color coatings. Additionally to get rid of the residual paint and rust I used a small wire brush and multiple wheel brushes. I polished and flattened the vice surfaces using a file and sandpapers of different grit sizes. Before painting the vise again I applied a degreaser and secured all the sensitive parts. I sprayed the York vise with smooth metal paint and applied vaseline on all the necessary parts. After that, I assembled all the parts back together.
