Threading a Reed Vise Handle Back Together

- This was my take on installing the Reed vice handle back on the vise screw. I wanted to make it so that I could remove it again if I ever wanted to.

..... And that was the moment Adam realised the other end ball was already screwed on from the factory ... ;-)
Haha i was thinking that to my self too! :-D
Before you put the ball on permanently or if you did, you can heat it to remove it... consider putting a hole in the hub, and thread it, drop a brass slug down, a spring and a set screw. My Parker has this on the end of the hub, you might need to do it on the side.. it will allow you to control the tension on the rod so it doesn't drop every time. or if you want to keep it centered *balanced) for spinning a long distance...
Adam:
I have a "O" ring on each end of my vice handles and it has saved my hands and fingers from being pinched many times, plus the handle does not make the steel hitting on steel noise.
You did a very nice job of making the vice look new and work smooth.
Love your Passion, Craftsmanship and Value Abom!!… Thank you, Dad and Grandpa for over 100 years of Experience Condensed here :) for us to Enjoy! :)
Magnet trick was cool! Learn something new every video. Thanks Adam!
I'd love to see you make some new vise jaws in the shaper. A little checkering action 😃
The magnet idea was brilliant, Adam.
As a fellow Machinist, I love watching your videos.
There are no drills on TH-cam that throw out prettier curls than Abom drills.
16:50 Great visual pun. 'thanks for joining me'🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love to see when old things are brought back to life! Awesome!
I've seen a lot of guys at my work and also a lot of youtubers making the chamfer of a hole they are going to thread too small. Nice to see an experienced guy like you doing it right (at least as big as the outer diameter of the thread).
Hey Adam you should mark the end of the handle that comes apart with your little logo stamp!
In that final shot with the bar installed I honestly couldn't tell which end you had screwed back on. Great work!
Adam, I emailed reed mfg, I live nearby, and told them what a great job you were doing restoring one of their vintage vices. I drive by their place every once in a while, it is such a cool old building!
They make some awesome pipe vises but seems the days of these big bench vises are gone. The vises they offer now appear to be imported.
Every time I see that 6 jaw I still drool. Just plain love it. Sweet fit there my friend.
Nice trick with that small magnet, got to make my own piece. Thanks for another great shop story :)
Really enjoyed this one with your usual great work. Especially since it brought back 70 year old fond memories of passing the Reed plant on my way to Grandma's house. BTW they are still in the same location on 8th st. in Erie, Pa.
Those hand tool rescue adjustable wrench are great, I waited for nearly a year for mine on back order.
That magnet is genius!
When I used to do fabrication work for an commercial appliance company we used a mist degreaser. I a tank you had a mist of Perchloroethylene you just lowered the parts into the mist and let them sit the PCE would condense on the parts and flow off carrying away the grease and oil. If you and a die set it would even pull the grease and oil out of the dust and dirt leaving it behind to just brush it off.
I have used trichloroethelene too much
Dedication to perfection, even on an old tool. Looks so great that bare metal should not rust to shine a lifetime!
every DAMN thing you make is a work of ART!!!
At 2:25 you explain what the numbers on the Drill/ Tap reference chart are for. As a starting Hobbyist, this helped me a lot! Keep up the good Videos!
Great idea, I need to make a tailstock magnet. Now you have the most accurate vice handle in the known universe.
Beautiful job. BTW the weight loss is really noticeable. Kudos!
Whoa! That is amazing! Fastidious as always. Outstanding. Great job, Adam. By-the-by, that 20N chuck looks HUGE and the chuck key made your hands seem small. Surreal.
Very nicely made!!! I loved the magnet trick...I may make one for myself, with your permission...
I too enjoyed the magnet trick. A sure sign of a machinist that has "been there before"
Agreed. Adam has a LOT of experience - it shows in the precision, in the casual yet elegant handling of projects. I have seen many poor machinists (locally) - it's a joy to see (sadly only online) the work real true professionals (and some amazing hobbyists) like Adam, Joe Pieczynski, Tubalcain, this old tony, Keith Rucker , Keith Fenner and many others.
I’m glued to the Kentucky/Tennessee game...... Abom notification... Now splitting my attention between the two.. I think I have a problem.. 😁
Indeed you do. You should be watching Abom😇
C&D General Services I bleed blue baby!! 💙💙💙 #BBN
My hubby is 6'4" 265 , About to rotate out of Delta Force. Every time I see you guys GRONK down on something I swear Its going to snap in half.
Now that is a real kicker to see all go together
You are the Master Abom!!! That vise looks BadAss with that gross paint off of it
A magnet! I was waiting to see what you would do. Very good!
great idea, but it's a sphere, just chuck it and face it off!
@@paulatkins894 It's a sphere with a cylinder attached. I wondered about getting the best approximation of the cylinder to the spindle axis. By eye would have worked too since the cut on the cylinder was done with a cutoff wheel, or just facing off all of the cylinder, like you said. But I figured Adam would have a good idea.
Paul, sure on a ball you don’t want to true up on a cut face.
I did one of these before and was so focused on the handle that I forgot to put in through the screw before final assembly with the loctite! At least it wasn’t setup before I finally realized
Impressive work. Can’t even tell it was cut off and put back together.
My next project is that "magnet"!!! Thanks for the video!!
Abom79, seeing how you are a master machinist maybe you could do some videos on the basics of using a lathe. That would be pretty awesome. Great video!
Awesome fix on the handle very nice.
A lawnmower can be heard near Adam's shop in this video as we are shoveling snow in Ottawa Canada Darn It ! LOL
It's snowing in Michigan
one of the things I did to my vice was to drill and tap a hole on the side and then put a ball bearing, spring, and set screw in so that the handle does not just slide down with a bang as you turn it.
LaserFur Great idea!
Thanks go to you! Adam. Always well taught and pleasant. You are a natural.
Hi Abom I like what you are doing, It's really good to see little things that different machinists do. Never saw a long nose marker before. going to get one ASAP. Also like the magnetic home made tool you used. Good job.
When I want a thread like this to stay in the hole I use a second cut tap and forgo the bottom cut,as the bolt turns in it will self lock at the bottom nicely.
Cool to see the hand tool rescue wrench. Love your vids Adam.
From Adam in Indiana
Nice to be here, thank you for the share, Lance & Patrick.
very good work
Looking fine there Adam! (You and the vise! ;-) ) I am now itching to ad a Reed to my vise collection/obsession. Nobody tell my Charles Parkers! (Or the Wiltons ;-) )
By the way the collar that looked like it was broken... Was it made that way or was it actually broken?
who woulda thought it is even remotely possible to hold a sphere securely in a chuck...? Great work as usual!
good job as always... but thinking 50+ years from now perhaps if the vice has not been scraped by the new owner (shrinking pool of skill machinist) ... would it be advisable to mark the ball end on the tightening handle in some way that its threaded, as you machined such a good face they may not realise it can be unscrewed ?
If he engraved it "screw off" it would get a chuckle out of me.
You are an artist Jargl you dazzle us thank God we are watching daily videos you do not Toml
Very nicely done A79...
A thing done well is a thing of beauty!!
Looks awesome Adam!!! Enjoy the day. Ray L
I saw 2 marvel saws today. What gorgeous old machines. The guy only wanted $800 for them. If I’d had room for one of them I’d have bought both. Lol
Beautiful looking parts Adam, awesome job!
That was cool the way you use the magnet to Center that ball up
Awesome job as usual!
👍👍👍👍👍
Watching in Alabama!
Counter boring the ball would have been a nice touch . Both aesthetically and for rigidity.
nice job! try a caterpillar d-ring instead of and oring, probably last longer. thanks for posting!
Heck of a nice vise ! Worth every minute you spent getting it into OEM condition. Was the acme shaft a split nut or broken?
Adam, all you need now is baton twirling lessons.😜😜
Outstanding job!
EXPERT AT WORK.
sweet friggin chuck!!
Watching Adam polish his knob today was great.
I do hope you'll show us the metal putty and paint job.. Thanks, Adam.
Edit: Sorry, I didn't wait 'til the very end.
This video = life goals
Ever heard of Black Magic cutting oil? That’s all we manually/brushed on back in my shop days. That’s all we were provided with. Great work, by the way. Beautiful vise.
I was wondering how you were going to square that ball up in the chuck. Nice trick with the magnet!
that 6 jaw chuck. sweet! good job A.
I liked the magnet trick.
Magnet was clever. I was wondering how you would dial that in.
I guess I spoke too soon... hehe
that magnet trick is awesome. where can i find a magnet that shape to fit a 1/2” or 5/8” chuck?
Great series, Adam.
Thanks for sharing m
Really glad Adam cleaned the end of the stud before he assembled the ball on the rod. I'm a little OCD.
Hi abom..you always show's us all the process on your project's from scratch to finish..but you never show's us how you clean all the tool's and machine's that you used after the project (not that i know off)..could you share how you clean and store the tools and how you clean your machine's that you used..the tapper, carbide cutter, the holder and the drill bits..is there any specific way that we should clean them?and how do you sharpened you cutter and drill bits..?
daaang! that's some 680 and a hardend square head. no worry
Good job Adam , awesome fix on the ball man .. Looks great , ENJOYED !
Great work as always. You do the kind of machining I would like to do but my little 1340 ENCO can never match the Great BIG American iron you have! LOL Thought you were going to put some rubber washer bumpers on the handle. Great looking vise! ABOM SIZE!
You forgot the "O" rings. But non the less a very nice job as always.

That-a-Boy... reminds me of my massive Prince Albert barbell !!!
Great series on that vise Adam! I like others couldn't tell which end is the removal end! I especially like that polishing wheel you have. 3M right? I can't remember, nor can I remember which video you introduced us to it. If you can, put which wheel it is and if it's a 6" or 8", would making my future bench grinder purchase easier. I'm sure you'll get the one part machined. I looked broke to me, unlike the gizmo in chucks that they "break" to keep them matched, name escapes me at the moment..... Awesome Job, your attention to detail with removing the weld splatters and dinged up stuff is awesome.
Nice job.
Nice work Adam. with those two faces flush that will probably lock itself on there and you'll never have to worry about it...
Anyone ever made a bottoming tap out of a worn or chipped taper tap? I haven't but I've thought about it
Many times...
Somewhere I think I missed what happened with that split nut.
Another fellow said he had a smaller Reed vice and it had the same half nut
Love the magnet ideal. Check your local Tractor Supply for the Ranchers Gloves. I've seen them as Cowhide or Deerhide gloves too.
That is beautiful
@6:23 "the magnet" ! I was wondering how you were gonna center and true-up that ball. :-)
I'm amazed you didn't use the lathe to finish the end of the stud rather than that cutting wheel ;)
I was tinnin a hack er band chaw wood bee butter won
Thanks for this! Now I have an easier route to repair a Wilton bullet vise that has excessive wear on the leadscrew where the horseshoe sits.
what happened to the lock nut? did i fall asleep again??
What did you do about that broken keeper nut?
Bob from Hesperia CA. What happened to the threaded insert that held the lead screw in place??
If that were me in a heartbeat I'd have Loctite that ball on and then gone to install it in the vice. Watching the master & learning am I. Ooops seem to have gone all Yoda.
Hi Adam, just wanted to let you know that I aint had no content from you for a couple of weeks, so I decided to look back through your old vids to see if I missed somethin about you bein ill, then I seen that you still makin vids but youtube had gone an unsubscribed me from your channel!
I clicked that button to resub, but how many of your followers might this have happened to?
I’m falling to bits. I wish someone would refurb me this nicely
Nice job!
