More than just a vice

Saw this vice in Carbatec today – thought I’d take a photo, although it doesn’t do it justice.

The vice is huge, and an impressive bit of engineering to boot.  It doesn’t come cheap, with a $1400 pricetag, but when it comes down to a vice with all the bells and whistles (or in this case tilts and angles), a patternmaker’s vice is hard to beat, and this version is no exception.

It’s hard to give you a sense of scale, other than realising that is a HNT Gordon Jointing Plane in the background, and that isn’t the smallest plane either!

    Bloody hell, I thought paying $120 for a bench vice was extravagant. :)
