And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I have one of those but with only three of the half round grippers. Really come in handy when you need it. I think mine is a German model but will have check on that.
Amazon will sell you a kit for about 3 grand. Or you can 3D print one. If you're a real machinist, pretty trivial to make (think CNC), though tedious. They've enjoyed a vogue recently after having been largely ignored for the past 75-100 years, probably due to a recent Adam Savage youtube. Really not all that useful, frankly, which is why they largely disappeared for so long. Stop and think about it: when was the last time you needed to grab something like a Crescent wrench in a vise? Novelty item.
Unlike the Kurt style vises, which are ubiquitous. Glacern, Orange, Kurt, even Shars sell those by the thousands.
Fractal vice rebuild.

ReplyDeleteWhats that vise cost? I know a regular 6 inch KURT is upwards of $700, for base model.

Be handy for grabbing castings, save jig making time, though i got MightyBite's for the KURT, work pretty well for one off pieces.
