plain ol Bill Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstermetal Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 If I had to guess Bill Id say in the 135-165 range... I know thats a spread but maybe get you in the ball parK? Where is it coming from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plain ol Bill Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sask Mark Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 My 7 1/4" vise weighs about 170 pounds. However, it's not a Columbian (it looks a lot like my smaller Peter Wright). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My local junkyard has gone under and I don't have a clue where to look and scrounge stuff anymore. I just got 6000 lbs of good stuff for .25/lb.... some 2 3/4 plate and a bunch of 3" X 4" bar stock... one one stick of 4" square...... I need a bigger hammer ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakedanvil - Grant Sarver Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 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.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Turley Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 How about trying a bathroom scale? http://www.turleyforge.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plain ol Bill Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 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!

I need a bigger hammer I got one you can borrow, half of its on a trailer. don't think you can put it on wheels though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is shipping the steel to your hammer would cost more than buying new steel where the hammer is ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGropp Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I've got a 7" Columbian, I'm guessing it's all of 150# and probably a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
