I Forge Iron

My vises

Here are my two vises. Both were in rough shape and rusted solid and froze up.

I paid $40 for each one. They were purchased at different times. 

Both work like new now.

First is a 6" Quickwerk  Warren tool co.

Second is an 4 1/2" Arthur O'neal  with pipe jaws.FullSizeRender.thumb.jpg.114716907694373FullSizeRender.thumb.jpg.11471690769437356a99cdb40af7_FullSizeRender(1).thumb.jpIMG_3309.thumb.JPG.9356e8835db5fce1b16cbIMG_3320.thumb.JPG.3623b995b401bbc6be420IMG_3321.thumb.JPG.5c0b659c3edf59d61ea19IMG_3324.thumb.JPG.d43873ecda79fe1218cc8IMG_3328.thumb.JPG.61216168c5d6fc3e63f03

Pics. are out of order.  I am new here and trying to get the hang of posting pics. 

My computer skills are lacking.

This is the mounting plate on the O'neal

Indeed they did, now Commercial Forged Products. Mine has the similar angled fixed jaw/post. One forging, not welded, not bent; note mounting plate and pivot bolster are parallel. 44" jaw height, 50 lbs. (Also has the removable jaws) Yes, this setup looks unstable and seems too tall. I have heavier vises, this gets used all the time because it's handy. I had intentions of attaching all sorts of stuff until I started using it...                                                                                                                               Did O'Leary make the Columbian?
