Babco 180 vise

[Sawmill7]

Picked up a large 180 today. Price was right..free. missing both jaws and hopefully I can make new ones. I have a milling machine but am new to using it. Are these vices foreign? What is the age of these vises?

It's quite large and has 8" jaws. Plans are to clean up, make repairs and use once in a while. Thanks for any help with this project. Bill

Looks like a great vise. How are the tolerances?

180 mm jaws = 7 inches.

I'm guessing Taiwan. Coo was probably on the box or packaging to kind of skirt the labeling law. If it does what you need it to do then you won.
