RARE SELF-CENTERING VISE/VICE TOOL (Type Mechanism in Hermes Vises / Engraving Vises / Scissor Lifts) SCISSORS LIFT MECHANISM PARTS, DIY New old stock (NOS), minor surface discoloration due to storage. Rare Solid Steel Self-Centering Vise Tool Mechanism Parts Set. This is the same general type of self-centering mechanisms found in the superior Hermes Vises, other Engraving Vises, and small Scissors Lift Platforms. The screw shaft is left-hand threaded at one end, and right-hand threaded at the other end. Also included are the two steel rods, with center holes, one left-hand threaded and one right-hand threaded. The shaft screws into the rods, as shown, to whatever spacing you need. Then, when you turn the screw in one direction, the rods come together from both shaft ends at equal rates; and when you turn the screw in the opposite direction, the rods pull apart at equal rates. Great do-it-yourself (DIY) critical tool parts. These strong, high-quality parts can be used by you to make a self-centering vise, small scissors lift, pull/push type tool, measuring tool, or similar tool to your specifications and configuration. They were originally intended to make Hermes-like vises, but never used. A self-centering vise is a vise that you clamp down on a drill press, milling machine or lathe bed, usually to drill out or machine the center of objects, that you don't have to re-center the vise when the held objects vary in thickness or diameter (as long as they are symmetrical around the drilled/machined point) - great for mass produced work, as having to constantly manually re-center a vise for each object is time-wasting drudgery and error-prone. A small scissors lift (i.e. lab jack / lab lift / platform jack / platform lift) is a mechanical lift consisting of a platform that is raised or lowered by pushing together or pulling apart a scissors-like or accordion-like mechanism - by using these parts, converting horizontal rotational screw motion into vertical motion with very great mechanical advantage. The screw shaft is 9-1/8" long, 0.367" dia (5/16") at threads. One end of the shaft is a 1/2" long piece, 1/4" dia, flattened on one side for a knob with a set screw (an old radio knob or mechanical knob that fits 1/4" shafts should work fine, and they come in many different types and outside diameters). The two steel rods are each 5-3/4" long, 0.626" dia (5/8"). The rod ends are each 3/4" long, 1/4" dia., which means they can be fitted with wheels or sliders for the horizontal motion. (Knobs, wheels and sliders are not included - just what is shown). LIMITED QUANTITY. We have only a few of these sets left to sell. Consumertronics.net welcomes you!

COMBINED WINS! - SAVE MUCH S/H $$$!: Should you buy more than one Item from us and you pay for them all at the same time and they can all be shipped in one package, total S/H will then come to the full S/H for the Item with the highest S/H, and then only half S/H for each additional Item you buy.

However, Items do get sold out so we can't guarantee later availabilities - it is always best to buy all that you need right away. Buy all Items when they are available (instead of having to search for them later), and stock up while making one convenient money-saving and time-saving payment. If you believe that an Item we are selling is overpriced and you can document that someone else is selling that same Item on eBay for a lesser amount, then email us and we will seriously consider lowering our price.
