    Vise Info Thread

    Not a vise but a vise accessory. Patented in 1921 as "equalizing attachment for vise jaws", marketed as "P&K Vise Grips". Handy and cleverly designed, wonder why we don't see more of these. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    Shift, not sure that was too hard of a sell to Ms. Shiftless (who carries a grinding vise in her purse) ;)

    Holy camole, I may just drop the mic at this point - having one of your vises being Jeppen's avatar seems like the pinnacle Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    I found a catalog from 2000 that shows Record vises were still produced in Sheffield at the time and some of the models have the open bolt/swivel lock variant. I think all Irwin production happened in China. https://archive.org/details/AmericanToolCompaniesFullLineCatalog2000 Sent from my Moto...

    VISE REPAIR 101 all vise repairs, lubricants, sources for parts and the tricks to fix

    The polished anvil and jaws on this vise were arrived at with flat files, sanding paper from 80-1200 (using a hardwood block) and then finally a buffer (with the wheel always leaving an edge) Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk
