Wilton Vise Restoration | Wrinkle Powdercoat???

Video Description

In this video I restore a 3 inch Wilton bullet 930 machinist vise made in 1946. The original bullet was designed in 1941. They range from sizes of 2 inches up to 8 inches. I start with disassembly and use electrolysis to remove most of the rust, after electrolysis I move on to sandblasting all the large parts. Once all the parts were cleaned up I turned my attention to the defects. I welded up the dents and missing letters. Cast iron is difficult to weld. After welding I had to file and sand down the parts. I wanted to use a durable finish since this vise will get used. I chose a wrinkle black powder coat and I think it turned out great! The small parts were polished and then nickel plated for protection. I hope you guys enjoyed the video, if you do leave a like and a comment.
