massive vice or something?

I didnt see any COO stampings or who it was made by, but its girth is what caught my attention. Didnt ask a price on cause im sure im not looking at spending what hes asking. People around here think vices are made of gold. It had about 4 layers of paint that I could see. Maybe I will ask about it tomorrow when I go back.

That's a machine vise for a mill/drill/shaper and of limited use for hand work. Still, cleaned up, they bring big bucks.

I was actually using this milling machine today, you can see the vise in use here. They are not made for so much hand work as mentioned above. Mostly for holding stuff precise and flat (hence the non-knurled, flat jaws).

p.s. Anyone know how to rotate attached images? All mine seem to be like this.

Thats what I was thinking, not exactly that it was for machining, but that it wasnt for everyday vice use. No depth to it and the width of the jaws.

Also it is common practice to put aluminum jaws in and cut them to fit the part. Then you can repeat the operation over and over and hold tolerances.

If it was going cheap I would grab it as a spare. Otherwise there's plenty of good used Kurt vises out there.
