Here is a versa vise set up for doing gun work although it isn’t on the bench. As you can see the back jaw has been modified to swivel. I just made wooden inset jaws to accommodate tapered work instead. Jim

Here is one of mine. I have a bigger one on my hydraulic Power Arm.

Can’t say I did Outlaw. The center point does screw in but not enough to hold anything. Jim

Outlaw, I’ve got one of those too. Jim

I actually contacted someone at Wilton I think (it was a couple 6years ago) and they were very helpful. They sent me that, and it got mine up and running. It was low on oil. Glad it helped. Jim

Does this help?

Nice get. I too am looking for the horizontal accessory. Jim

Here is my Miller Falls hand vise. Jim

Yup I knew it was from England that is why I never thought I’d find one in the wild. Jim

No, nothing on the end of the screw. Jim

None that I recall but I can check tomorrow morning. I believe it is black but I’ll check. Jim Ok just went out to shop, the Little Giant is definitely black. No hint of any other color. Jim

Here is my Little Giant vise. A bit different configuration. Hopefully the pics show up. It’s a #23. It’s been a couple years since I posted but I have been keeping an eye once in a while and recently it’s talen a couple months to fully catch up. Jim

Here are the pics of the base. The column was drilled and tapped to mount the chair. I'm not a metal worker but I do the best that I can. I had some 3/8" aluminum that I drilled to match the hole spacing on the column and then I used lag screws to fasten it to the laminated wooden top...
