Fence for an old Pistourius Vee Nailer

[Samanthaday]

I'm looking for a fence for an old Pistourius Vee Nailer. The one I have has been handmade out of wood and the right angle isn't good. I really want a metal one like it originally had. This is what it looks like:

Anyone know if there is a supplier out there?

For that age of a nailer - very doubtful that you will find a supplier. Maybe that is why you have a wood fence now instead of metal. A suggestion is to go to a metal manufacturing shop, I'm sure they can build whatever you want.

Have you considered a new or good used modern style Vnailer?

That's my thought.... but I live in cyprus and 'accuracy' such as requesting a perfect right angle on the fence, is a bit of a stretch here. There's a local guy 'Iron Horse George' who's very good, but again, I don't know how perfect he could make it.

Maybe someone has a broken one that you could purchase for parts - that is a stretch though. I'm sorry I am out of ideas.

I get you on this.
How perfect it might be is a question.
But... often the moulding isn't perfect as well.

You might try to order a fabricated metal fence from a company in the U.S. if you can provide the specs on the fence size.
This seems to be a fairly simple metal fabrication where a number of companies could supply the part if given the specs.

You might contact Steve at www.aimequipmentcompany.com
He has a lot of equipment for sale and help with parts as well.

Any fabrication shop with a basic manual Bridgeport milling machine can knock that out with accuracy, even in Cyprus.
You just have to look.

That might be a problem, last I checked, Bridgeport was in Connecticut, not Cypress.

Sorry,

The name Bridgeport mill has become a generic term for a knee mill that were first made in the 1930's. Although they were originally made by a company with the name Bridgeport in Bridgeport, Conn. there are many knockoffs of the basic design and ubiquitous in just about any machine shop today that still used manual machines world over.

Jerome, sorry if my sarcasm didn't come through.
Bridgeport machines are pretty useful.
