I have a old Columbia bench vise, and I broke the main screw on it. I have searched and found out Wilton bought out Columbia . So I looked and tried to find part's and they have like handles , and jaws.
I might be out of luck on it, it use to be my grandpa's. It made it threw him and my Dad and I've had it 13 years now. Just hoping to keep it going strong.
Thanks for the help

You may have to retire her unless you can find an old one like it for parts. Is there a size or # to go by? Craigs list may have one somewhere in the country. Or eBay has some.

Thanks for input, the local machine shop is up for sale but he's still doing limited work. And the one down the road he just passed away last month.
But I will talk to local shop and see if he will, I know he can but he's just trying to retire.

I order from McMaster Carr once and a while. Mostly for stuff I can't find elsewhere. I never considered their prices decent though. That's why they're usually a last resort for me.
Eh...wot?
