Pault17 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 for years I have been looking for a second vise. I managed to score this one. I took the whole thing apart and wire-brushed every piece. All pieces are there. There is some wear on the center portion of the screw. I paid $90, or about a dollar a pound. The jaws are 5 1/2 inches. I'm happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtnstream Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Very nice, looks,like it has a lot of good years left in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gote Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I would be happy too. It looks unusually well designed strength-wise. Some vises look as it he post were a spindly afterthought. (and these do bend) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I generally divide postvises into "gracile" and "robustus" that one looks like a "robustus"; but with a graceful shape! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pault17 Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 Definitely robutsus, Thomas. The bottom of the post is 1.125 inches. I have "before" pictures, but they just show an eighth plus inch of grime on every surface, and thoroughly clogging the pivot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
