Thanks Mike, next time you are by your vise close it up and measure how much of the square slider is hanging out the back of the Static for a max opening. Again thanks. Kevin

Athol 720. 6" jaws and weights 150lbs. Weight is a estimated by the owner. Nice vise.

Kevin, max opening is nominally 7 inches. Also this one, and for all I know maybe all of them, has smooth jaws.

Thanks akasrick, does it have a quick release? just seeing the spindle pivoting and was thinking it is a quick release.

No it doesn't KMScott unscrew the rear jaw, slide the rear off then tilt the screw up and pull out. No washers, nuts or pins.
As usual my lousy pics.

Also has the dreaded mystery holes (plugged) on the top of a jaw, possibly someone tried to fit a Rapid Vise style of attachment in the wrong place then cut it off.

Kevin, that Prentiss (points up) is a 513, as cast into the main body. The dynamic has both 513 and 523 cast into it as the dynamic could also be used in a swivel base or swivel jaw main body, one of which likely would be the 523. Have a Prentiss swivel base swivel jaw with the dual marked dynamic.

Yes you are right 454, there is another Prentiss 523 cast into the Static on the spreadsheet with 523/513 on the Dynamic, both use the same replaceable jaws, I thought I should show both vises and assume the Static is the main vise number. Prentiss does this on other models too.

Kevin, funny you should ask this. I picked up an 87 last year, couple pics in this post https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=6474650&highlight=Parker#post6474650 Real nice shape other than missing the handle. A while later I came across another Parker for cheap, think it was a fixed base and not a combo, and figured I'd swap the screw since it had a handle. Well you can imagine my surprise when I saw how short the screw out of the 87 was. I inspected it closely expecting to find evidence of a break, nope. Installed the longer screw from the other vise, pat myself on the back for restoring the capacity of the vise. A few months later stumbled across a catalog page and was surprised to see the small opening. So now I'm in a quandary, swap the screw back to keep it original, or leave the longer screw because it actually makes more sense? I have a few catalog page pics from 1916-1925 showing this vise, most show 3-5/8" jaws that open to 4-3/4", but the 1922 page shows 3-1/2" jaws that open to 3". I didn't actually measure mine before I swapped the screw, but there was quite a bit of slide hanging out the back of the static jaw as the screw ran out.

 

[chrisnazzy]

I have a Parker 433 1/2 that by all accounts seems to be the later model number of the 87. Catalog pages I have show both as 47 lbs. and 3 1/2" jaws that open 3". I have been confused by the max opening also because my screw is long enough to allow the vise to open normally. Measuring length of the protruding slide my 433 1/2 actually opens just over 4 1/2".

Hello All , I'm new to G.J just wanted to say hello and ask if anyone knows where i might obtain a swivel base for my newly acquired C Parker GG vise. It's a monster and before i start trying to fabricate something i figure the original parts would be better.

Thanks 454, I will add a note to the #87 saying it can open more. There must be a reason for the short screw, maybe to much stress on the vise if opened more the 3" or a larger pipe is grabbed and tightened. Thanks for the catalog pages. Got to create time to add these catalog pages.
