I just bought 2 kearney & trecker mill vises off craigslist for $60 a little rusty no holes drill in them ! And screws are great shape, I do need to make new jaws and Would like to find a swivel base for one of them. They are very heavy about 250 lbs each, great vise for my #3 cincinnati dual power mill . Any body have a extra swivel base ?
 
Good for you. :encourage:

Any chance we can see them?

Nice mill. :drool: But I thought we where talking about the vises you just got? :dunno:

Calm down, he is making us wait with anticipation and grabbing your interest with a great looking machine. :encourage: Looks like it is working.
