My 11” x 18” vice

[pressbrake1]

I’ve started my 1118 vice
Crazy Spencer @God mode restorations ordered vice no1 and came down to inspect the castings.

that's a hefty lump

that's a hefty lump

The vice looks pretty big as well!

I made nutty drag the jaw to my home workshop where the Kearney and trecker lives
Weighed moving jaw and it weighs more than the biggest record

 

[rtcosic]

OK, I'll bite.
Show us the bench it's to be bolted onto.
Please show the bolts separately.


Also, please use a 210-litre oil drum for scale.

Isn’t the transit enough of a scale?

Nope. We want to see where & how it's going to be mounted.

Why 11" and not a nice round foot?

I don’t know where or how they’ll be mounted, some collectors leave them in the shipping crates

I can imagine winding the jaw in and out could be a real workout.

Because 11 is loud enough, obviously.

Maybe @pressbrake1 can offer a motorised "powerclose" option?.

I have to ask, who the hell uses a vice that big ?

My customers are rich collectors and Mexican gangsters.

I’m sure that happened to you a lot during your New Romantic phase

 

[God mode restorations]

It's an absolute monster. Beautiful castings. The weight is awesome. Every workshop should have one

If you have to ask the price, you can't afford it

 

[Hotstuff]

A really really silly question; what is it used for?
