madwing Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I picked up the sweetest little vise the other day. It has 2.5" wide jaws that stand about 1.75" above the screw. It is about 7" from the handle to the anvil, and not only does it clamp to the bench but it swivels! it is similar to one I saw on the net from late 1800s France; mine is unmarked. it is clearly set up to have a capture rail that supports the anvil end when it swivels, but that has been cut off. It's a great addition to my post vise and my grandfather's Wilton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
