KST1-Derek Fultz Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Like most smiths on here, I am always on the lookout for a nice big postvise. I have a few of the average 4"-5" jaw ones around that I use all the time, but a monster vise has alluded me all together. Unfortunately, my luck continues. I haven't found a big one, but I might have found the smallest? -Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciladog Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 That is called a pin vise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KST1-Derek Fultz Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 Yeah, it's a pin vise, but I thought it's similarity to a post vise was "striking" :rolleyes: The "post" (handle actually) has a whole bored through it (bolt too) so that a rod, wire, or "pin" of any length can be passed through. -Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I actually have a small bench vise made like a postvise save that the "post" is truncated and bent in to provide a place for the bolt to tighten against the bottom of the bench. It's only about 4" tall in total. I mounted it on my travel forge for a while till I got a better method of bringing a post vise with 4" jaws!

Frank Turley Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 On this one, I had to make the spring, fine-tune the nut & screw, and put on the thick, lower washer. It is a beautiful forging, probably English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
