    Someone was asking about those Pittsburgh Vises, here is one that sold a couple of years ago, (I can't remember how much for), but it has a swivel jaw.---Now that's a unicorn. I know some of you fellows remember it.

    KMS, just one question.---How in the world are you moving the halves of those monsters around to get them in machinable positions? I guess just because those were so big that users figured they were indestructible, so a 16 lb. sledge wouldn't hurt one at all. I guess those are Vises, am I...

    I don't know the timeline on Starretts.---My #326 combo has one, but I don't use it as an anvil.---The 1 1/2'' I-beam flange it sets on makes a far better beater than abusing a good vise.
