This is a Wilton 500S machinist vise. (500S means 5 inch jaw, Swivel
base). The vise is a work of art in itself. While it did not look too
bad to begin with, I decided to replaint it. I first thoroughly
cleaned it, degreased, degreased some more, wire brished it, degreased
some more and wiped thoroughly. I also milled off a small layer off
the anvil to make it smooth. Then I applied a "cold galvanizing paint"
that is extremely durable. On top of that, I used a spray oil based
enamel as a red paint.

The vise looks great but I wonder what (referring to the area of the bench
where it is mounted) the connotation of a "red vise district" is?
Respectfully,

Without a doubt the single worst pun I have ever heard, Ron.

Please log in for more thread options That is by far a great job and concept. The undercoat in zinc. Cool.
I have a large vice, been in the family for more than 50 years and it was
'scrapped' when we (Dad and I) picked it up - he did I was young.
The color concept goes along with Grants Shop. One I admire for concept
of use in color in a shop.

I am going to give my 7 year old kid a small Wilton machinist vise
with 3" jaws. I think that it is small enough so that he will not ever
feel a need to get rid of it as "too big" and will last him a lifetime.
here it is
