ChrisH Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I bought this from an old blacksmith over 20 years ago who was unable to give me any history on this. Any thoughts any of you may have would be terrific! Thanks. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Welcome aboard Chris, glad to have you. If you put your general location in the header you might be surprised how many of the IFI gang live within visiting distance. When someone asks me about a mystery viCe I can't help wonder what kind of naughty you're curious about. <grin> I'm not sure but that looks like it's some kind of kick vise. A vise that is closed and locked with a press of a foot, they're much faster than turning a handle AND leaves both hands free. Frosty The Lucky.

caintuckrifle Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Some kind of "step Vice" Pretty cool-Don't sell that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arftist Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I have one similar; cast rather than forged. Note the jaws are bolted on. It is my understanding that various jaws can be mounted to do different types of upsetting. Mine has a similar mounting system as well. Haven't really figured that out yet. Maybe someone is familiar and could help us both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
