    My $20.00 Flea Market Find

    IMG_2018.jpg IMG_2017.jpg Out here where I live there is a Flea Market. One of my friends wanted to know if I wanted to go, and at first I waffled on him. He came over for breakfast and then we went. It took 4 hours to clean it up and lube it IMG_2015.jpg IMG_2016.jpg

    Very nice. It looks like it was made back when manufacturers actually cared about quality.

          Damn that is a good grab boon. I never saw a vice like that but I like it. It is always a pain in the ass bending and contorting to do work once in a vise. That is perfect it sets up a good position for yah before you start.
          We would have been wrestlin to buy if I was their at that market. 😁

            They had a conventional looking vice a little smaller, but way more rusty. It would have to had a wire wheel or a disc to clean it up. I sure it could have been had for $10.00. The tilt feature makes this machinists vice way more practical.

                That is for a drill press or milling machine. You can drill holes at odd angles.

                      The guy next door to me has a big American made vice that he paid $20.00 for at a garage sale.
