I have found one exactly the same as this one two years ago while old building was demolished.
It was in much worse condition but i could not leave it.
It was welded by the previous owner to the steele bench so i had to make new holding ears.
Anvill part was beaten up so i have welded new layer of steele and i made it flat again on milling machine.
I had to install replacable jaws beacouse old monolith jaws where destroyed, genuine Heuer 160mm backen where fitted and they work great, gap was milled and allan screws installed.
I have machined new bronze thrust washer and new handle from 42CrMo4. Handle and spindlle head where blued, rest of vise i had painted in navy blue hardcoat shipp paint.
I assume that it is more than 60 years old. Too bad i have not filmed complete process.
With all that I've read, I understand that you had a lot of patience to sit down and make all this, Well done!
Here in Europe this is a common vice, though they are not cheap.
The factory Heuer claims they are unbreakable! German quality!
Laurens Beerendonk,since I had never seen one like this before, I know that the company still exists and is still making them, but it is old vise.
Unbreakable just like all the other good name Brands...
They are very rare but I have to say it's gorgeous! Keep bringing those vintage vises on UA-cam I love them! Looking for a hobbies vise to restore good day mate!
Thanks a lot patricia mueller,I am looking for and what I find and it is worth i am buying it to restore it to its original condition, you know I will try for the best, thank you again !
A lovely piece of equipment, and a nice resto, i am jealous, Tony, Australia.
Thank you Toni from Australia !!!
best quality cast iron casting I've seen it must have been top quality
they are not cast iron, they are a forged steel vice.
This is the most beautifull vise I ever see...
Thanks lord Celtic frost.
@GIRTH BROOKS I will see the video,thanks.
@GIRTH BROOKS thanks.
Love the video man, but you really should be wearing a respirator when grinding all that paint, Rust and dirt off. We only get one set of lungs.
Thank you Antoni,i just bought mask and glasses last week.
Looks incredible. Great job.
Thanks gayle525.
I liked your work, great result👍
Thanks a lot Andrey,it is a beautyfull vise.
Excellent job! It is good to see, that a masterpiece like this vise, reborn! Congrat!
Péter Juhász thank you very much my friend,this vise is a very good quality tool !!!
I hope so! Two months ago I did not know anything about Heuer vises, but I needed a good vise, and by chance, I had the opportunity to by a brand new Front 140 for a very good price. I took this chance, and I became a fan of it! I think it will last me for my lifetime. Do You use Yours for a long time?
Mine is old ,i didn't took it for use,i restored and i placed it in the shelf along with the others I have restored.
This Heuer will be a good piece in Your collection! Congrat again, You did beautiful work on it!
Thank you again Péter Juhász !!
One Question: I plan to refurbish the same old model. Now I noticed that the spindle is misaligned due to the aligning thread welded flush to the left. Is this due to the design or defective manufacturing? How is it with your vise? Best regards! Stefan
Hi Stefan, there is no problem, it works fine, what aligns it is the big screw that tightens it.
Very good restoration 👍👍👍👍
Thank you.
Best vise IMHO. I have restored some from 1940 years. D.R.P. :)
Thanks Rumbman
.
I want that vise! :) Great work on the restoration!
Thanks Jack Thomas.
beutiful vise.
thanks for shareing
Thank you thymekiller.
Μπράβο φίλε πολύ καλή δουλειά !!!!
Σε ευχαριστω Σταυρο.
Great job 👍🏻
Thanks Stef.
Nice work! Just curious, as I'm currently restoring the same model: at about 2:50 you're taking the spindle out, but didn't show how you got the retaining washer (or whatever it is called) to pop out. Could you let me know how you did that? Thank you!
Thank you Nick Baumeister,the shaft has a notch, there inside is the thin iron that I take out with the small pliers, as soon as you take it out the washers have come out and at the end the shaft comes out.
Buena restauración
Gracias Guillermo Reche !!
Nice job bro, ready for many more years of service...
Thanks Gary.
@@restorecreate well 1 yr has gone by.. 99 to go...
Looks great, well done

,thank you .
Terrific vise John and great work. Good that you did not paint then greased the mating surfaces. Wish you had not painted the jaw faces. Great work!
Thomas Thompson thank you ,i search on internet and i found some fotos of this vise,the jaws was painted like the rest of it,and the jaws are not separately from the vise.
@@restorecreate Good of you to look that up but I just don't see painted surfaces contacting the work piece as a good idea. Excellent work though.
Thomas Thompson thank's ,when I bought it, I was also impressed, and I said why, looking to see it in its factory condition, I saw that from then until now, when they are made, they still make them, so I decided to make it as it was.
how do you make the brand letter in dark blue ? video didnt show. "HEUER FRONT" Letter
With a black marker.
Καλή δουλειά. 👍
Σε ευχαριστω Dkost.
Strongest forging vise
Goran Živković
,yes it is a very strong vise !!!.
I’ve just noticed you have a few videos I haven’t seen! Sorry, I haven’t had the notifications, I’ll unsubscribe and resubscribe as this usually tends to work.
This was another stunning restoration, and it’s a beautiful vice. Thank you.
Mark Harris thanks a lot for your good words my friend !!!
good job
Thank you.
I have a Heuer Primus and i don't get the Ring out, you skipped the part at 2:45
So my question, how did you get that ring out of there??
Reding Sascha,as you can see at 2:52,i am pushing a thin metal ring it locks the fat ring of the vise,the ring that you want to take off.
That is not cast iron, it is forged steel. Not sure why someone would buy it, as the jaws are not even replaceable! Taiwanese made Yost forged steel line is much better and available on US market.
This is a german vise,very old forged steel vise,still the company produce the same style,and their prices are too high.Also AMG F1 pits they have vises from this company,but in black,i think its a very good vise,i dont know why someone will by a vise with no replacement jaws,but thats life.Why Yost made in Taiwan is better ?
@@restorecreate For electronics and mechanical tools, Taiwan offers great quality at a low price. For the cost of a German 4" vise you can buy a Taiwanese 8" that is stronger than the German 8".
nice work
Thank you franmol01 !!!
Hello, very nice job, i started also to refresh my own Heuer vice (not at the same level), can you tell me the RAL Code color of the Heuer blue ? Thanks for your help.
Thanks a lot The Lococo Channel,the code is RAL 5012 from MORRIS COLORS.
@@restorecreate Thanks for the information and your quick reply John. All the best 🔥🔥🔥
nice
Thanks .
I just bought the same model, do you know when these were built? Mine is also with u shaped spindle cover but the rounded form of the jaws, like yours.
The company still exists and continues to produce vises, it is in Germany and this model was produced around 1960, if you go to the official website of the company it has all the models.
www.heuer.de/en/products/heuer-vice
@@restorecreate I found it, this model was produced between 1957 and 1969. Mine has the number "67" stamped into it, I guess it could be the year 1967, maybe.
Massa.
Thank you PacificoArtes.
Heuer 100mm modelul 2023 este buna ?
Toate produsele companiei sunt de înaltă calitate.
Awsome job. What would it cost if u were to sell it.
Hector Quinones thank you,I don't know how much it costs, and I don't think I would ever sold a tool.
If ever u want to sell it let me know. Peace
Ok Hector Quinones.
Sadly you chose not to show the disassembly of the spindle - something a lot of people are struggling with.
benzon 1960, i think I'm showing how it turns out, the process is about the same, the only thing that changes is the degree of difficulty in each tool.
@@restorecreate To be more precise I think a lot of people would like to see how you get access to the locking mechanism - necessary to remove the parts which eventually allows the removal of the spindle.
benzon1960,the spindle is being held by the half ring that i'm putting out with the little plier,you just pick it up,that's it and you take the spindle apart.there is no locking mechanism,just a simple ring my friend.
👍👍👍👍👍
Thank's workshop. roar.
Love the music
I want this vise good wark how can I buy this please tell me please I from Pakistan ilove it
Thank's Usman Bhatti,but it's not for sale,maybe you will find in fleamarkets a vise like that,maybe.
Thanks A lot big brother 💖💝💓💞
Like your video bro
Thanks a lot TSR Restoration !!!
(Obviously that is not the case.)
Hi John,
The final blue coat, is this azure blue, RAL 5009 ? I also have to restaurate an old Brockhaus-Heuer-Front vise, jaw with 150mm.
Efharisto para poly!
maigibs ,tomorrow i will go to the workshop,i will se code of the color and i will tell you becose i dont remember.
maigibs
,the color code is RAL 5012.
Can you give me the link if the blue paint
I'm a lil' pimp with his hair gased back...Nice Music!
I would hate to use it now, it looks to good.
I am not using this vise tunin tunin,just sleeping in the shelf.
Restore & Create i just got one, arriving tomorrow. I hope there is no slack... :)
I don't think so,this vise is very tough,so...good luck my friend !!!!
@@tunintunin3417 If you find it to have slack, here's how to tune the vise: ua-cam.com/video/-XX_KcRqGA4/v-deo.html at approx 2:00.
Joris De Roeck thank you, it arrived and it was in better condition than I expected but smaller than I thought :) One thing that worries me is, when I am taking something out (un-tightening), there is a click, knock somewhere inside... I guess i need to take it apart and inspect it.
The music wrecks an otherwise nice video.
It's a vise that rocks,with rock music my friend.
Next time, spare us the moronic music. In fact, no music at all would be nice!!!
That's what a "mute button" is for....
Thankyou Frank.
Way to completely gloss over how the hell you removed that retaining ring from the screw shaft!??!
I am having a horrible time trying to remove that ring so I can also restore my Heuer 150-6 vice. How did you do it! that ring it fit too perfectly on the shaft
I am trying to remove that ring from the 2:45 mark. Right before you show it disassembled with the retaining ring on, then the next second the ring is loose and being removed with a flat head!
You will achieve the polish with sandpaper, a lot of polish and patience. You will move the ring one at a time, be careful not to distort it.
Just got it off! man that was a rusty *****!!! Can't wait to make mine look as good as yours!
@@eriks7198 now you have to do your best !!!!
@@restorecreate I have a high bar to reach for with how nice yours turned out!
Subscribed!
Load repetitive annoying sound
I know this and I have stopped the music on the videos, the issue is the result of restorations though.
I don't think that "Front" is part of the vice name, but just designates the direction to mount the base.
That was the name many years before,after the company change the name but the Heuer Front logo is still on the vises,and its not for the direction to mount the vise on the bench,none of us need to see the front ,to put the vise correct in the position.

This video is from a new vise made it a few years ago.
