what are these holes for?

[breezer]

Bought this yesterday from a local autojumble - i understand most of its features - stake on top, anvil point, swivel base, bending formers etc but the two holes on the side (not the oil hole) im not sure of their use.

Can anyone advise?

Are they shallow holes, riveting maybe?

Retaining screws for the anvil part....?

 

[breezer]

Retaining screw for the stake is around the other side.

 

[breezer]

They are about quarter of an inch deep

 

[CRB]

They appear to be different sizes.

?Are they threaded?

 

[madkayaker]

Same vice as I have. The holes are different size and threaded. What there for have a clue!

[breezer]

Cool, have the holes been machined out or they rough cast?
