ThomasPowers Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Funny took me about 10 seconds to do a web search on FPU Vise and even found a hit here at IFI: https://www.iforgeiron.com/topic/22296-mystery-vise/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaudry Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Does anybody know what would be the advantage of a vise where the back jaw moves back by turning the handle ?[ like this one does] It seems that it would be much less useful in not being able to put a long piece vertically without hitting the bench. There was some´discussion on these vises over on the vise thread at garagejournal and it was suggested that these were useful in confined spaces where there wasn't room for a conventional forward opening vise, like in a submarine. Cool vise regardless, I want one! Is the thread on the screw a reverse thread ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Tight spaces in the personal area? As you mention. Met a guy working in a shed fairly recently and he had one. For the right needs in the right place I'm sure it's invaluable. Very cool vise. Deffinately on my list to find for the right price. I'm sure others know more. It's just what I was told.
