Not quite woodworking, metal vise

[Mark & Juanita]

Saw the following on the old tractors web page. Might work for somebody who does some metalwork along with their woodworking. Line wrap intentional, for some reason, my Usenet server is treating this as a commercial posting.

No ties to seller, this just looked like something that might interest a few of the folks here.

Looks like a smith's leg vice, re-arranged to make a portable or bench-mount vice.

Handy for rough work, their main advantage is a quick screw action so you can tighten them quickly on hot metal. For general use though, I'd prefer a bench vice with a slower screw.
