Ok. Now I can see it. Keith did a great job with this, but that runout would have driven me insane had it been me doing this project. What Keith did was perfectly acceptable, and showed me why it takes so long for me to complete a project that wouldn't be any better. On a side note. I was working with another mechanic one day driving a shaft out of a machine and he told me that I was just like lightning. I looked at him confused because it was about 110° and we were doing a field repair. He said when I used a hammer I never struck twice in the same place just like lightning. I thought about that as I watched you peening those pins.

Honestly doing it in a collet would have been my choice. Like Keith said, it's not precision, but the collet would make the axles a bit more uniform.

My grandfather ran a factory in which were at least one of these vise carts. I remember asking about one "was it heavy?" He said "give it a spin" or words to that effect and I recall being surprised at how easily it moved! A piece of technology that should be recalled to production; I think as well.

These types of carts were used in an old carpet manufacturing company that I worked at after leaving school. Crossley Carpets of Halifax, West Yorkshire, UK. It brought back a few memories. On a different note I Would have supported them using a live centre. The end was turned off later anyway to produce the point. They look original. Nice job.

I was initially confused as to why the axles/housings were designed to wobble. Then it dawned on me; factories of that era did not have concrete floors. The floors were wood blocking set on end and the gaps filled with sand. It was great for workers not having to stand for hours on concrete, but it created a somewhat uneven surface. I think that wobble design was an attempt to deal with uneven floor surfaces while moving the cart. That's my guess anyway.....

Agreed! The dual wheel design should help too. Modern single-wheeled offset swivel castors don't swivel too great on rough concrete. It must be all the weight on one side.
@AttilaAsztalos

NO fancy soooopa-smoooooth space age concrete will have a double caster run with both wheels in contact with the floor unless you build in enough compliance to let it do so. Has nothing to do with the assumed surface quality. The moment they decided to use double casters, the need for swivel was a given.

Agreed! Wood floor, rough concrete, maybe even stone floor. In all cases that floating axle would have helped with stability. Very clever, especially with a tall, heavy load like that vise stand.

I always hated peening over rivets going through cast iron. One miss with my mighty hammer, and I feared a cracked part. Since I'm a coward like that, I usually took a bolt and then an acorn nut, rounded the edges off on the grinder and screwed it on with Lock-Tite. Great job on this project and I appreciated how you handled the "non-critical" measurements. It's how we get things done.

It occurs to me that the lack of live center holes might be because they made say 4 or more on one piece of rod, maybe with a steadyrest in there, then just parted or sawed them off. Not sure if that'd be faster for production, but for something with such loose tolerances It could have been done that way.

It is common practice to maintain sanitary design in the food and pharmaceutical equipment to fill center drilled holes in fabricated parts by welding the hole closed with equivalent welding rod composition as the part, which is usually 316 SS. No crevices or pockets in the part are acceptable. The part must be designed and made to be easily and thoroughly clean and often sterilized before use. The part is then machined or polished to an equivalent finish to match the surrounding surfaces. This could have been done with this axle to maintain the original appearance.
