FredlyFX Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 This is my 100lb post vise mounted to a steel table. I also have a cheap Harbor Freight machinest vice attached to the other corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 Ok, it is a post vise without the post, or a leg vise without the leg. Any suggestions on what it really is and why it has no leg? And if it has no post, how can it be a post vise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmercier Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 My main shop vise is mounted to my big workbenchhttp://www.tharkis.com/images/shop/viseandhammers.jpg I've got another big one mounted to a 2x4 tower because i had a pile of 2x4s on hand when I wanted to mount it. I need to replace the spring on it though.http://www.tharkis.com/images/shop/2by4towervise.jpg Lastly is a pair of smaller ones (3 and 4 inches) both needing mounting hardware, and one needing a spring, which i'm going to mount in much more portable fashion once I forge the needed parts.http://www.tharkis.com/images/shop/grindersandvises.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 This is my 6" Indian Chief. I picked it up near Reno about 20 years ago for WAY more than folk in the mid west would think a bad joke. It cost less to air freight it to Alaska. I also have a 4" no-name but it's not set up, buried in fact. There'll be room in the new shop though. :cool: Frosty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
