Wilton vise screw broken, new part source?
 

The screw and boss are one piece on this 4" vise. The screw is 3/4 ACME I
assume. I did Google for parts with no luck, is there a source or do I just
get a new one? It's way PITA to make one and we're too busy. I do have
another vise on that workbench, we really need two but I'm willing to wait
for a part if I can find one soon.

Wilton will likely have them for a reasonable price.

You didn't mention the pitch but Mcmasters sells acme threaded rod. Add a bit of
machining and some silver braze and you have a new screw.

I know...BUT, if we're making a part we can buy, we're not making parts we
need that we can't buy. The days of making stuff we can buy are gone. Sad
but true. I'll buy a new vise without a second thought and pitch this one
in the scrap steel dumpster.

Snap-On bought Williams, not Wilton.

Wilton and Powermatic are parts of the WMH Tool Group.
