Atlas Universal Compound Vise

[RHJO51]

I cam upon a Atlas Universal Compound Vise at an estate sale last weekend. I was surprised I found it after all the traffic but it was buried. Lucky me, I was looking for a vintage one for a while for my DP. It was $10 and not missing any parts. I've cleaned it and getting ready to re-assemble. Was going to post it in the Vise thread but wondered if there was a specific drill press vise thread?

I also found another x-y table, no-name, says Made in Japan. Looks exactly like some Mastercraft tables. Missing the t-slot clamps. Nicely made, very smooth. Anyone seen this one before?

Well done.

Can you possibly measure the T nuts for me? And the jaws

I got one of those vises with my Craftsman 150 drill press. It was missing one of the jaws, and some years ago someone on the OWWM group had a bunch of castings made for the jaws, so I have that in my box of "things to do".

Thought it might be fun to devote a thread to drill press vises in particular. :cool: Some of these I've had for a long while and others are more recent acquisitions: Craftsman 2.25", acquired with a few witness marks but otherwise very nice condition. Good for the smaller stuff. Reed DP...

Great Find and nice job cleaning it up. So many uses in the right application.
Enjoy,

Nice, very nice!

It's extremely rare to see one of those that's not all pockmarked from morons.


Does this mean the vise fetishists are going to start branching out?
