Here is mine. She is a six inch hundred pound post vise. I don't have it mounted in any extravagant way. Just wanted to get it mounted and into use.

Very nice. Does it have any branding on it at all? Do you use it frequently? I love the versatility of them...having all that depth below the jaws comes in handy for certain things.

Here are a couple of mine. I like post vises also. Both are mounted to steel. The 6" is a JJ Krenz marked 1898. It uses most of the original mounting bracket to hold it to a steel column. It's pretty solid. The 8" is free standing but bolted and welded to the floor. The original mount was never going to be solid enough for what I wanted so I recessed a thick plate to hold the vise body and clamped it in so it cannot twist. It's foot is set in a heavy casting poured full of crusher backing which will not yield. It is so solid it gives good rebound off the static jaw. Ed.
