Anyone know the weight of a Columbian 7" vise? I need to figure freight cost to have one I purchased delivered. Thanks for any help folks.

It's coming out of southern Cal. Larry. I've seen pics of it and other than being a little dirty it looks like brand new. Still going to have to make a vise stand like that one of yours. Where have you been scrounging anyway - man some of that material you used for your bending table is really heavy duty! My local junkyard has gone under and I don't have a clue where to look and scrounge stuff anymore.

Where are you located?

My 7 1/4" vise weighs about 170 pounds. However, it's not a Columbian (it looks a lot like my smaller Peter Wright).

Well, ya coulda had a nice 500 pound Nazel, but it probably would have been too much work to get it out of where it was..............

Frank evidently his controller (wife) doesn't have one. She must be petite and one of those women that can eat all day and not gain weight I guess. Larry when I start to make my vise stand I will come visit and scrounge right there!

My guess is shipping the steel to your hammer would cost more than buying new steel where the hammer is ;)

I've got a 7" Columbian, I'm guessing it's all of 150# and probably a little more.
