Why did you redact the material description?

That was my name lol
Material is 3” 1018
Price per inch was much lower. Listed price is actually including the cutting labor

Just a quick dirty receipt I think

I’m not sure how this pricing compares, but I chose the 3” 1018 because the 3-1/2” 1045 was 3 times the price!?!

He was charging me purchased price. Material cost has been…. fickle? The 3” was purchased at a better cost.

Anyway, my sourcing for stock is extremely limited in my area unless I want to drive 1 to 2 hours

Besides! Super nice guy! We talked for over an hour and he took me on a tour of the whole shop! (it was after hours)

<edit>
I just took calipers to one. Varies between 3.050”- 3.040”. No way I would have accomplished that with my equipment…
Cut surface finish is way better too!

I don't do any blacksmithing but I picked up this vise at a recent auction. It's going to need a new screw and some other work. This one is a little bit different than every other one I've seen online so far. The hinge on most is usually just a metal strap with a bolt running through it but this has the two massive plates on the side. And it weighs a ton. But should make a nice vuse when it's done.

However, some still say “yoll-kes” when referring to the yellow stuff inside of eggs.

Excepting for those big ole cracks, Dang!


Have you got a repair strategy for those, or is this just a "gentle use" or "looking at" vise?

Picked up a kbic-120 for little money:





I have a preference for dc motors over ac. Mostly because of how they perform at low rpm settings. So this will be used to convert something like the drill press or band saw to dc power…
