CRACKED! Heavily used vintage Wilton Bullet vise restoration

In this video we take a heavily used and abused 46 year old Wilton Bullet vise with a cracked body and damaged handles and bring it back to life. We will spin out new handles on the lathe and weld up the body to make it structurally sound and as good as new, enjoy!

Dang! This is your first video! I look forward to more of this content! Well done! Is that tig brazing you did on the repair? Or was that a preheat before regular old filler? The rod doesn’t look brass colored. I gots questions! Fan already!

[@3rdShiftRestoration]

Thank you so much, we have quite a few more videos in the works. So the torch was for preheat only then moved onto the tig for fill and it took great.

I think they were wanting to know what filler you used...as am I. I'm also guessing not silicon or aluminum bronze given sparks when grinding and finished appearance. Inconel? ER70?

[@3rdShiftRestoration]

Absolutely, we were using Radnor brand ER70S-2 3/32" filler with our Miller Syncrowave 350LX set at 140amps and straight argon as our shielding gas.

muy bonita! pero y la pintura???

If you're going to show vid of you welding, you need to show the welds. Cutting away and not showing the welds is like not showing the finished product after painting.
