Vise ID in Vises Posted August 26, 2014 Hello all! ....awesome to have found a place with so much collective knowledge! I am looking to narrow down the age, and possible maker of my newly acquired post vise. Sorry I don't have pics, but here are the highlights: 75lbs chamfered legs hand-cut serrations on the jaws (still visible) "F K" ...or that is what it looks like... on the closed screw box where it fits into the fixed leg. square pin securing the pivot plates mounting bracket is U-shaped and forged into a wishbone. Will post pictures when I have some good ones. Thanks! -JC

Hello all! ....awesome to have found a place with so much collective knowledge!
I am looking to narrow down the age, and possible maker of my newly acquired post vise. Sorry I don't have pics, but here are the highlights:
75lbs
chamfered legs
hand-cut serrations on the jaws (still visible)
"F K" ...or that is what it looks like... on the closed screw box where it fits into the fixed leg.
square pin securing the pivot plates
mounting bracket is U-shaped and forged into a wishbone.
Will post pictures when I have some good ones.
Thanks!
