JHCC Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 My local industrial surplus place has a 4" vise listed for sale with an odd fitting on the back end. Any idea what this might be for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John R Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I would guess air cylinder on the back and the street ell is for the air connection. Adjust to fit the object with the vise handle, then rapid close and release via a foot or hand valve for the air. Likely a spring inside the air cylinder to release the vise when the air supply is dumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Just the one fitting? I think John's interpretation is a good one. Sort of like air brakes on a truck, lose air and they clamp down. Maybe if there are two fittings it could be an air motor in/out but I doubt it. If it were cheap enough I'd turn it into a beer tap and hang it on the wall behind my desk. Well, something cool.
