for a vise, but, you take it like it comes. It has a

anything on Abernathy vises on the 'net. Anyone

Is it an under-the-top woodworkers vise? Or a benchtop vise?

You give JOAT back his vise. I found this, not very useful but all I got w/o really looking.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that. It's an under the top mount.

Thanks. Hey, you know, I just bought a digital camera. I could post a picture, couldn't I?

And I agree. JOAT will need his vise back. Probably one of his kids sold it.

What are the jaw dimensions and opening depth?

I got as lucky, or blessed, found an antique woodworkers vise made by "American Scale Co. KS MS No. 204", $20 with an aluminum spacer no doubt added later, shop made. Jaw faces are 7"x4" and a 12" opening without cheeks (wood faces as jaws). It's got a quick action (not a quick release), handle over the top all the way to the left and the thrreads are off of the half-nut. Works great, on either end of the turn it will "snap" into place.

Upload some shots if you would, I'll reply with mine.

You think this thing is an antique?
