I recently picked up a seized Columbian Vise off of OfferUp.com. This video shows how I freed the vise and got it in working condition.

I like to soak mine in Simple Green over night. That usually does the trick.

@BIsForBudget Год назад

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give that a try next time. 👍

Contrary to the caption, you didn't put the thrust washer in backwards. It was backwards when you took it out in disassembly, but correct-with the bearing side (pockety bronze side) facing the screw handle-when you put it back. The bronze bearing side of the thrust washer and the inner face of the handle hub, separated by a healthy layer of grease, make a great bearing. Good job though. I'm nearly done restoring a Colombian 503, a very similar vice.

Hi befingered. That makes perfect sense. Thanks for sharing. I guess I'm going to be flipping the washer (again). 👍

How do you remove those soft jaws?

@BIsForBudget Год назад

Hello Lee, the soft jaws on the other vice are held on with magnets.

Do you know roughly what year it was manufactured a friend of mine has a 505-m2

@BIsForBudget 9 месяцев назад

Hi Nicky, that's a good question. When I did some initial research, the M2s were manufactured from the mid 70s to early 80's. Unfortunately, I was unable to find anything more specific than that.

@nickyhughes2008 9 месяцев назад

@BIsForBudget thank you I wasn't able to find out much either in my research

@GOVAUS1 4 месяца назад

@tomnorman5461 9 месяцев назад

Surprised you didn't remove the ACME nut for cleaning...why nit?

@BIsForBudget 9 месяцев назад

Hi Tom. Interesting, I must have totally missed it. I thought I tore the entire vice down. I'll keep my eye out for it next time. That said, it's been working beautifully. Thanks!
